The best Dim Sum joint in town had little triangular beef curry pies (the curry sauce was fruity more than spicy), and a round bbq’d pork pie nicknamed as “Pork Cookie,” because the top “crust” really was more like a slightly sweetened cookie. Both of these were snacks with meat but also dessert-y elements. None of our surviving places, good though they are, offer these on their Dim Sum menu.

And another meaty-fruity finger pastry: the mini-empanadas Mom used to sell for parties in the pre-Trader Joes era. There were always bits of chopped raisin mixed in to the beef-with-chili-flavoring filling. Coneys were the same turnover dough, but the filling was chopped frankfurter and chopped kraut instead. Really, just fill a plate with all the canapes and little desserts from when I worked at those parties to get a little pocket money as a teen. Let me have just a nibble of each one more time.
