Yep, that was it. I had an early-morning, caffeine-free brain lapse 
in my absolute certainty that Battlefield was the name of the Bakery 
in question. I knew it, but something in the back of my mind was 
strewing doubt that my memory was accurate. But that's okay, I've got 
my tea now; my brain chemistry will soon be back to normal (such as 
it is).

Thanks, Marian! I seem to recall that there are still people on this 
list who, for years, have been wondering how to make vegetable 
pasties "like the ones they used to sell at the Battlefield Bakery at 
Pennsic".

Speaking only as another traveller on this list, it's a great 
pleasure having you here!

Adamantius
