Title: Have you eaten a Runza?
Post by: ChrissyRyan on October 12, 2025, 06:20:49 PM
A Runza is a simple sandwich that has meat, cabbage, cheese, and onions.

Have you eaten one?  Was it tasty?  This food is available is some Midwestern states, such as Nebraska.

Unsure if a Runza is like a pasty, but in sandwich form. Have you tried a pasty?
I think a pasty uses potatoes and not cabbage.

Up until COVID I lived in Lincoln Nebraska in the winter months. Drove by Runza many times, never stopped.

A Pasty is a term for a baked pastry parcel, usually it's flaky pastry but there are exceptions. There are loads of different types of fillings from chilli beef to steak and gravy to chicken curry, cheese and onion, corned beef and potato and so on. If you haven't tried one before you're missing out!

I think you are thinking of the traditional Cornish Pasty which is made with Steak or Mince, Potato, Swede and onion less of a flaky pastry to this one.
