Well, Charlann, ya see it's like this...a pasty is a kind'a meat pie in like a turnover crust. It's got little cubes of different stuff in it. The traditional stuff is beef, onions, potatoes...an there's a hot debate about whether or not to include rutabagas. I like 'em WITH rutabagas but some folks don't. The miners usta take 'em down in the mines with them to eat. Good source of meat and carbs when yer a hard workin' guy like a miner. However, they are purty filling for a butt-sitter like me...so I hafta not eat a steady diet of 'em!! I didn't MAKE these...I ordered 'em from this place in the UP of MI...called Jean Kay's Pasties. They were a mite 'spensive but hey...for a taste of yer childhood...they were cheap at twice the price. I've never even TRIED to make 'em...but I 'member my Mom making them. She'd make a huge batch of them at once and freeze some for later meals. Being a school teacher, there were times when she needed a quick meal ta fix and all ya hafta do with these is pop 'em in the oven. I think the recipe is online but I don't plan ta make any. Too time consuming (ya gotta cook the meat, etc first I suspect.

I see the Mudgie man has found a recipe. I will let him share it with ya. He's good fer sumpthin' at least!! grin

Hugs,
Bobbie
