I've learned that pasties are a dish popular with several different ethnic and cultural groups. Growing up in Michigan, my best friend's mom used to make them. I couldn't go to his house without her trying to feed me. I always loved when she made pasties. They were a Polish family so I always associated them with Polish cuisine. However, they are most popular in Michigan's UP which is primarily populated with people of Scandinavian ancestry. Why, I don't know. Growing up in Montana, Mark told me he associated them with Irish cuisine. I guess it doesn't matter where they originated from, they are very tasty when done right. Peter's does them well. I hope they hit the spot for you Mark.
If you need more of them I promise to let you offset the cost next time.
