My first pasty was at a restaurant beside the Soo. Last year we ate a couple and bought more frozen ones at a restaurant just South of the "bridge".

That gravy was PatD's so I can assure you that it was good.

My first pasty, from the 3 seasons Cafe in Manistique MI. We came up to the U.P. for my neices graduation this weekend, headed back southwest towards home this evening. Figured this was a good place to park this picture.

You guys are making me hungry but I'm still back with Lee thinking bad thoughts when I see the term pasties. Are you real sure they aren't supposed to be called "Pastries"? ???

I had little meat filled pies my maid in Africa used to moonlight and sell to local outdoor bars and such. I'd get her to make and freeze a bunch for me to throw in the oven or deep fryer for a snack. She'd even add green beans cross cut into 1/4" sections in her fill and a little bit of hot pepper so every once in a while one would bite back. I'd get her to make 25-30 and she'd take my little cooler home with her and return them in it piping hot on the weekends when we'd have a card game. They were a big hit.

In Saudi they made something similar called a Samboosa or Samboosak IIRC. They would either fry or sometimes bake them in the big ceramic ovens they used to make the thick chewy bread (KUBZ) we'd eat with hummus or fuul (Spicy, mashed up chickpeas). They would slap the bread dough or uncooked samboosas on the side/walls of the very hot oven for a minute or two then remove them when cooked done. They were very good.

The ones I'm seeing in these pictures look like what they used to make and called a "Horseshoe" in Mongolia. They were very good and a real treat when we'd get them.

Howard
It is Pasties. I don't know why but that is from England long ago.

I don't doubt it is pasty and now knowing it came from the UK helps explain the origin and the confusion. Them people over there speaking that there British English never could get their tangs untoungled enough to speak proper English so when our ancestors got to America (Leaving at night and one step ahead of a lynch mob if the truth be known) they got that speaking thing straightened out. We also helped with the spelling taking out a bunch of unnecessary "u's" and using proper "i's" (which are true vowels) instead of "y's" which everyone knows are really consonants anyway. :D

Anyway, those little fried/baked pies sure look good. digin_2

Almost every culture has some kind of dough/pastry stuffed with meat, vegetables or fruit.

Howard, don't let the past days of burlesque and experiences guide you through life. 8) :D ;D

These famous UP pasties have been there longer than the Mackinaw Bridge.

Yeah but those dang flashbacks just keep running through my head...

One minute it is a burlesque show the next I'm crawling under my truck in the Wal Mart parking lot looking for trip wires and grenades in the tailpipe then when I try to sleep the wild animals keep coming back in my dreams. And the voices in my head tell me to play louder. :
