Minced meat, often including offal, folded into a very thin suet pastry pasty, usually of rectangular form. Steamed wrapped inside a cloth rag. The pastry is very much thinner than usual in steamed puddings, hence the need for the rag. Modern commercial versions use a plastic film. The dish has come to be particularly associated with the town of Oldham.
