I have to add in here, Lynn, that there are people in these United States who do eat pasties that have nothing to do with Janet Jackson's Superbowl display.
PAY-stee is what JJ needed and PASS-tee is the food. That's how it's said in Michigan where they are available. They're especially popular in the Upper Peninsula.
However, no treacle pudding (or treacle tarts)...or for that matter Yorkshire puddings. And then there's vegemite. Try explaining the appeal of that to someone.
