[Sca-cooks] Looking for "Celtic" foods, especially "finger foods"

The fact that there is a word in French in the 12th century that can be translated as "pasties" does not mean that the 18th century Cornish pasty is period, or even that there was a period food that was similar.

I realize this, and I also realize that the potatoes are a dead 
give-away to relatively modern recipe.  These notes were from my work 
for a TV show that did not ask for a medieval recipe, they just wanted 
Cornish Pasties and that's what they got.  However, if you swap the 
'taters out for more turnips [not swedes - that's another modern rant], 
I call it "conjecturally period" for the lady's purposes.

I love hais, you turned me on to them, but I can't honestly call those 
"Celtic".
