My favorite snack to fill up my empty stomach has always been meat pastries. The searing hot fillings will rush into your mouth as you gnaw on an appealing crispy crust pastry. What else can I say about such delectableness?

The French dip sandwiches or roast beef sandwiches with French dipping might take up to 6 to 8 hours to prepare since it requires a long time to have the meat done. But if you are using your leftover roast beef, it will not take you more than 15 minutes.
