So a local church has a pastie sale twice a year. Just in time for spring turkey camp, then again for deer camp. I'll be picking up a pile of them after work today. I'll be bringing a taste of Michigan with me to South Dakota. If you don't know what a pastie is, I'm sad for you. Just know I'll be eating good tonight!

There are pasties and there are pasties! I hope you are eating the correct ones. ;) The others would probably get caught in your throat. ;D
-
Lo! I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking about the type of pasties with tassles Pat. I must admit that I'm curious as to what the pasties we are talking about consist of. Do tell Dave. Josh

Pasties are a Yooper's version of an empanada ... ;)
Basically meat and vegetables wrapped in a thin dough and then baked. A meat pie for one.
-
yeah, those tassels are hard to swallow. :o
-
Yup that's a fact, the tassels don't taste very good.
Meat pie is correct. It's a Michigan thing. The story goes, it was a common meal way back in the day for all the copper miners in the upper peninsula. Also know as "yuppers".
Here in Michigan there's always a debate about diced ingredients versus chuncks of meat and veggies. Either way, it's tasty! And ask almost any up north Michigander, they'll tell you who makes the best pasty.
Makes for a darn good hunt camp food. A whole meal all wrapped up nicely to throw in a backpack.

Yeah, we know "yuppers" here on PA. ::) I'm just saying! ;D
-
I spread this knowledge in AZ about once a month.
-
We have them here also, miners food. Do the Trolls have them too? ::) ::)

I'm a Troll and darn proud of it ;) - but I still love Me some Pasties. I like 'Em smothered in good Brown or Onion Gravy ! Dang - goin' to the grocery store this morning - guess what just put on the list :laugh: !!!!!! Bob
-
I eat them at least once a month. Love them! Rutabaga is yummy. Good call, Dave.
Brown gravy or ketchup is my thing. Even just melted butter will do a guy right.
-
Now your talkin! A little melted butter, salt, pepper, and I throw a little hot sauce on there. That's all I need.

You know it is kind of funny how many parts of the world/country have similar delicacies..?
Empanadas, pasties, burritos, bierrocks, runzas and fried pies are all basically dough wrapped baked, or fried, portable meals. :)

This is literally the best bad movie in history!** There were plenty of Cornish hard rock miners that came to the Northern Black Hills during the gold rush that pasties are a local legend here as well. However, when they figured so greatly in the movie, Escanaba In Da Moonlight, they instantly became one of my favorite meals.
*This is not as dirty or as crude as it sounds. Tourists driving back south on the Mackinaw bridge often are carrying one or more packages of U.P. fudge. Apparently it is a major export.
** "One potato, two potato, three potato, four..." Laughed until I puked!

That's the truth JW, unless you come from a family like mine. You just make the fudge yourself. It's crazy how people can make a living up there just selling fudge. Anyway, there's 10 pasties in freezer waiting to make a trip to the black hills. That's all I could save from the pastie predators I call kids.

That's good, "because I am nothing if not a man of habit".

One of the ladies that worked in my school caffeteria growing up made amazing pasties. A number of restaraunts in the area would have her come in once a month to do up a big batch. I get pasties at the store every now and again, but they just don't compare.
Pearly, I've never had one with butter, but you can bet I'm going to try it.

ground venison, cabbage and onion.... The wife likes using soy sauce, I like hot sauce and the kids like them plain... Good stuff!
