oh, Beach Girl - nope, am not from UP<in relation to ques. in other thread>
but I did visit there and went to college up North in my state which does have UP influence, so that's how I learned about pasties.

Interesting title anyway! People are guaranteed to look! :lol:

To fix the name, click on "go advanced" and I think you can get to it.
 
Now some poor misguided soul is going to think I'm using the OTHER sort of pasties!! :lol: Oh well.

My dad grew up in the Keewanauw Peninsula, so I was introduced to the wonders of pasties at a very young age when we went to visit relatives there. I have a wonderful recipe for them that my grandmother used to make for my grandfather, as he was a copper miner and took them for his lunch quite frequently, back in the day. Considering he died around 1925, that recipe has been around for a LONG time.

They are SO good. Wonderful on a cold winter's day when you want something warm to really fill you up, or served cold for a summer lunch. It takes a while to make them, though; not exactly compatible with today's mind-set of "30-minute meals."
 
:giggle: :ty:Botti

oops BG....

I imagine making one from scratch could take longer but probably be divine!
It neat you were able to retain the recipe:)
 
Yes, it is. That and her spaghetti sauce recipe are treasures. I don't often make either one properly (if the spaghetti sauce is made with meat -which I don't even do very often - it's supposed to simmer for at least 2 hours). But they are really good.

My mom used to say she was very glad she was raising Italian kids, because we were all good cooks. Better than her English/Dutch self, I have to say. 'course maybe getting us to make dinner was all part of her fiendishly clever plan... ;-)
