As mentioned earlier I was in charge of Pastys' for my babys (31) birthday dinner and made a couple pans yesterday.
To those of you not in the Dulth, MN /UP MI corridor, pastys (pronounced PAH-STY) were hand held dinners carried by the Cornish men into the mines of the north. They were wrapped in towels and warmed on shovels over lanterns. Made of meat scraps, potatos,onions,carrots, and sometimes God forbid, rutabagas.

Shell & Filling

Sealed, ready for oven
