Welcome to the definitive guide on the "glizzy," a term that has taken the internet by storm, referring, of course, to the humble yet magnificent hot dog. From ballpark staple to street food icon, the glizzy holds a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of many.
The term "glizzy" is believed to have originated in the Washington D.C. area. Some also associate the term with the extended magazine of a Glock handgun, due to its similar length to a hot dog.
A pastie (pronounced PASS-tee) is a baked pastry, traditionally associated with Cornwall in the United Kingdom. It's a folded pastry case, typically made with shortcrust pastry, filled with a savory mixture of ingredients.
Common fillings include:
The pastry is crimped along one edge to seal it. Historically, pasties were a convenient, portable lunch for miners and agricultural workers, as the thick crimp could be held by dirty hands and then discarded.
While both glizzies (hot dogs) and pasties can be considered handheld foods, they are quite different in their origin, ingredients, and preparation!
The Cornish pasty has a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in Europe, meaning only pasties made in Cornwall to a traditional recipe can officially be called "Cornish pasties."
