My fault--I should have been clearer. It's more like a pasty than a 
sandwich, since it is all baked together.

You roll out two layers of dough--oil is an optional ingredient, so 
something in the bread to pastry range. You put the filling, which is 
a cooked mixture of fine cut meat and onions and stuff, on one layer, 
put the other layer on that, seal the edges and bake in the oven.

It can be picked up and eaten in the hands--frequently the hands of 
my children.
