Wow! I love these things! I used to buy them for lunch when I lived in Washington DC. They also had goat patties.

These are my favourite patties of all time!! Ive been making these for a few a while now, I always add a touch of cumin just to lift the flavor of the meat & mix tumeric in the pastry mix for a lovely colour when baking:-))
Add some hot pepper sauce to make them 'hot jamaican patties'. Lovely Jubbly!!

Oh man these sound good! I think I'll ramp them up with some dried habaneros (not too much) and a touch more red pepper flakes. I know, I know, but sometimes food like this has gotta be HOT! Thank you very much for sharing. These remind me of empanadas my mom used to make when I was little.
