Lots of fillings are available, mostly with spicy Mexican fillings---much tastier than a pasty I tried in the UP or those I tried in England. My friend & I ate lots of them while in Pachuca & Real del Monte, and they were all delicious.

Interesting, once again we've had very similar experiences. I spent a few days in Pachuca, neat city to visit and yummy pastys indeed.
Did you happen to stumble upon the photography museum there? Excellent place, and I was really impressed by the guide who was taking a group of school kids through it--both for her great explanation of the film photography process, as well as showing them photos on the wall and getting them to think of how a great photo transmits feelings and experiences to us (these were 10, 12 year olds)
Fond memories of the place.
Cheers
Are you still doing what you wrote me of a few years back, I am.
