It is a type of Cornish pasty.
Correct spelling is apparrently 'tiddy oggie' as already mentioned -
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/foodmonthly/story/0,,475394,00.html
"Long ago, Cornish miners shouted 'Oggie Oggie, Tiddy Oggie' in unison at crib (meal) time, before eating their traditional pasties, also known as oggies (or tiddy oggies)."
http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/food/pastie.htm
"Although the "traditional" pasty was made from beef, potatoes, onions and turnips, nevertheless the pasty was and is made from a variety of ingredients. The "tiddy oggie" is filled only with potatoes, and you will come across ones with anything from rabbit to egg and bacon or cheese."

'Oggie'? Well it's a slang term for a Cornish pasty.
The full term is 'tiddy oggie' and that is its native name which was confined mainly to Cornwall and to South West Devon, around Plymouth.
