Yep, the filling is basically whatever you want to put in it.

I see the pastie company in Florida is doing such abominations as a
Tikka chicken masala pastie, and a roast pork and stuffing pastie!!!

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.
