No One There Thank you, dear - There's no family there - I don't really "come from" there (although I grew up there) and my parents have gone to another dimension. Florida is home for me now. It's interesting how Facebook considers your hometown where you were born. Nothing could be further...

I just spoke to my sister, and she said yes, it was Filipinas; she believes that those pastries were their specialty. There were two: the mini-loaf with meat, and the more empanada-like filled with fish. I haven't been to Madrid since (gulp) 1979.

Memory's Getting Jarred The quest continues - So I continued to Google (Earth), this time if I could find the pasteleria that sold those lovely savory meat pies. Lo and behold, I found Cafeteria Filipinas, which I remember my family used to frequent when I was a kid. So, I don't know if my...

Muchisimas gracias, Margaux: I'm so excited! I'm going to try the recipe this weekend (as, alas, I have no time during the week to putz in the kitchen). Lo voy a pasar bomba! (And I look forward to seeing fotos.) Ciao.

Thank you so much, Margaux. To make it easier: The place was located on Pedro Muguruza. It's still morning here, so el almuerzo is still a couple of hours away. Saluti, Patsa

Spanish Pastry Filling Margaux, Many thanks for the dough recipe. I think you misunderstood me; I am looking for a savory pastry. It is a savory filling, not sweet. Either with meat or tuna, and with pine nuts and currants. (It maybe even had azafran in it.) That sounds like a lot of...

Margi, Thank you for the quick reply. I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere! I have been Googling the Spanish pastry filling and came up with the Gallego version, but that's not it. As I recall they were small, individual pastries that looked like they had been baked in small loaf pan...

Spanish Pastry Filling Oh, Addie, thanks for the acknowledgement - Okay, it was a pasteleria around the Dr. Fleming/Juan Ramon Jimenez area, but it was a very long time ago (1960s-70s). I've just recently started ordering the boquerones in olive oil and vinagre that they sold in the...

Looking for Spanish Pastry Filling I'm looking for a filling for a savory pastry that I used to buy at the local pasteleria in Madrid where I grew up. It had currants and pine nuts in it, and I thought it was meat-filled, but my sister said she thinks it had tuna. It had an exotic flavor to...
