An Empanada de iglesia ("church pattie") is a Colombian Spanish term referring to a pastry which has the same makings as a regular Empanada (a fried corn flour casing filled with [mashed potatoes] with [ground meat], chicken or cheese), but without meat. Typical church patties will be filled with potatoes cooked with tomatoes and onions, or simply be made of just the fried corn flour casing alone. Given that the [Catholic Church] states that their followers should not eat meat on Fridays, church patties are a common sight on church gatherings in Colombia, as well as at at home for people who closely follow the faith's food mandates, hence the name of the pastries. Church patties are not restricted to Catholics, as it's commonplace in Colombia to refer to meatless patties as such.
