"Mmmmm this is so good! It is a wonderful flaky pastry and tasty meat filling. From a book (1973) given to me by my son he collects vintage cook books, does quite well. This book was not old enough for him, I'm glad because it has some great recipes!! Latin American Cooking, a treasury of recipes from the South American countries, Mexico and the Caribbean. I will be posting more from it as we try them out. (20 minutes chill time not included in cook time) I cut very small wedges (12) and served it as an appetizer."
