Straight from the Butte Heritage Cookbook
Cornish pastie (pronounced "pass-tee")
Old timers will tell you the pastie arrived in Butte along with the first Cornish housewives who followed their husbands into the camp direct from Cornwall. Long favored in the miner's lunch bucket, the pastry wrapped meal of meat and vegetables was an ideal way for the "Cousin Jenny" to provide for a hearty meal for the hard working "Cousin Jack." As the miner unwrapped his lunch he would fondly refer to the pastie as "a letter from 'ome'."
Traditional meal cooked with Brethren flair with bacon added to the filling on the medium BGE at a dome temp of 400 degrees for about an hour.
