BTW do you know the history of the original take away food? English pasties?
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f221/terracops/IMG_0984.jpg
They originated centuries ago for the tin miners in England. You see the lip?
That's where the miners would grip the pasty. When they ate down to the lip,
they threw that part away. They had no way to wash their hands, so the pasty
was a sanitary way of eating food deep down in the mines.
