In Germans from Russia cooking, we call them Fleish Keuchla(spelling sucks, I know!) Ground beef well seasoned in a dough pocket that was deep fried!. I believe Britain has one called a "pasty" and was made for mens lunch boxes!. The knish I have seen in recipe form had a potato onion filling but that doesn't mean someone didn't make it with beef as well!. Other ethnic groups have thier own versions too, I am sure!. Google meat pasty or meat turnover and see what pops up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pastry filled with beef is common to many cuisines, prepared a bunch of different ways, with different names!. Pasty (british), Pattie (caribbean), Pieroshki (Russian), Empenada (spanish/latin american)!. Lots more too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
