Ketchup or gravy ?
Beef only? Ground or cut up round steak.
Or give up your pasty making license and make chicken/ pork/ veggie?

Pasty? I was thinking strippers when I read the title and wondered what there was to debate except it was spelled wrong.  |

I read it as "pastry" so I was really confused when the first thing I saw when I clicked in was "ketchup or gravy"! lol!
Now that I'm on board with it being "pasty" count me in on the "huh?" replies. I don't know what a pasty is. Anyone want to fill us in? Must be a regional thing?

Cut up beef and neither ketchup nor gravy.

I must need more coffee. Even if I substitute pastry for pasty, I still don't understand.
I do like a good chocolate croissant, though. My husband, on the other hand, would probably prefer the pasties.

I make vegetarian ones and I don't think I've given up my license to pasty. But when I make meat ones I use stewing beef or cut up steak... depends.

Never had one.
definition of pasty:
A pasty (/ˈpæsti/, Cornish: Hogen; Pasti), (sometimes known in the United States as a pastie or British pasty)[1] is a baked pastry, a traditional variety of which is particularly associated with Cornwall, the westernmost county in England. It is made by placing uncooked filling typically of meat and vegetables, on a flat pastry circle and folding it to wrap the filling, crimping the edge to form a seal. After baking, the result is a raised semicircular food item.
The traditional Cornish pasty, which has Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in Europe,[2] is filled with beef, sliced or diced potato, swede (also known as a yellow turnip or rutabaga – referred to in Cornwall as turnip) and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper, and is baked. Today, the pasty is the food most associated with Cornwall, it is regarded as the national dish, and it accounts for 6% of the Cornish food economy. Pasties with many different fillings are made; some shops specialise in selling all sorts of pasties.

A pasty is a food item? Like food that's been pasted together. It sounds so gross and for some reason makes me think of slugs. But I will clench my teeth and go Google.
ETA: Well Googling was a revelation. It's a meat and potato based mixture cooked in a pastry shell that is common with many nationalities. Only all the other countries have given much better names to their version of the dish.

Semi circular food item???  Well, I guess it is. They were originally designed as a whole meal in one 'package' (for the miners possibly I think) with the meat, a little gravy, potatoes and vegetables all encased in the pastry. Mouthwatering delicious when done well  |

It's not pronounced Pay-sty. The first syllable has the same 'a' sound as cat. Yes, they are regional, I'm thinking in mining areas they would probably be more common - northern lower Michigan and the UP for sure. Downstate where I am, you have to order them online or go up north to get them.

Ever since the boys read Harry Potter, they wanted me to make a pasty (pasties?) but what I ended up with was more like a baked empanada than anything else.
Apparently, I don't know what I am doing. LOL

The areas in the UK famous for their pasties would pretty much agree I think that they are made with cut up stewing beef, finely cut onions, diced up potatoes and carrots, seasoning, pastry. No ketchup! No gravy! And they are very tasty!!  |

I read about pasties in the Outlander books, then saw a pasty shop by my DD's dentist. Loved it. My kids love it. I love both the chicken and the beef. When they offered me ketchup, I was outraged. Who would ruin a pasty with ketchup? But then he offered me gravy, and I do love it with gravy. Only chicken gravy, even on the beef pasty. This little shop is in Los Alamitos.

We went on vacation to the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan, my dd couldn't get enough pastys! She liked it with gravy, didn't try it with ketchup but that didn't appeal to her at all.

3 out of 4 in my family use ketchup, the other uses nothing. Beef with rutabaga.
My in-laws (yoopers) bring us frozen ones whenever they come visit from a little shop where they live. Speaking of which, we are out, Thanksgiving needs to come soon!

Steak, onion, swede, carrot.
Yum!
Meat pies are a close second, especially at a Pieminister shop.
