I play a Hobbit on the server, have a Hobbit as avatar, and Hobbits like food, so I have got a second reason, to sustain it. I can see the similarities, after all, it's a simple food, just a dough of any size or shape with any kind of filling. I'm not surprised a food like this appears in so many different cultures. Looking at the pictures, pastel looks like a less "gourmet" version of the maultasche.

While I do support the addition of traditional food items, it would also be nice if it was more generalized. We shouldn't ignore other cultures just because they don't have a counter part in middle earth. ditto, also wheat + meat shouldnt be 10 when meat alone is 8 and ... oh never mind i was thinking meat was less than that. also what region would this be from (LotR and real life) To heal 5 hungry points it must be a big pastel, it can be done. I once went to a pastelaria (it's a place where they make pastel) where the pastel was huge! You could feed a whole family with that.

What region you say? Hmm, I don't no. I'm Brazilian and pastel is a common food in our culture, but it also appears in the Chinese and Portuguese cuisine, and there's also more foods like it, but with a different name, like maultaschen, pierogi and empanada. So, I don't really know :).
