I prefer mine without rutabagas, just with meat, potatoes and onion in the crust. Some folks include carrots in them too.
The "a" is pronounced like that in the word "past" not a hard or long "a" as in "paste." So even though spelling is same, the pronounciation is different between the little things that strippers stick wear and this food item, taken into the mines by Cornish miners for lunch.
