Mexico’s take on the Cornish pasty

I love pasties. The upper peninsula of Michigan used to be full of mom and pop pasty stands. I hope it still is, I haven't been there in years.

Yup, my grandfather worked the iron mines up in da UP and it is very much a thing my family still makes here and there.

Claudia's in San Mateo is great!

That was an exciting tip... except it looks like they have closed? Sorry if I'm the bearer of bad news.

Nancy's Pasties in Butte, Montana. Ground beef, diced potatoes, a bit of salt and pepper. And that's it.

Ridiculously good, freeze really well, make for a great meal.

Of course, you have to live in Montana to get 'em. :D

Most of the moderately sized towns still have a pasty shop or two. (yum)

You can still get them in Butte, MT. The straight up meat and potato variety.

Still my favorite kind. I'm guessing we have a similar supplier...

Perhaps one could reverse engineer the article?

The Wikipedia entry on the Cornish Diaspora: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_diaspora

I imagine that they'll be pasty inspired meals at these places. Mind you I don't think Gregg's was set up by Cornishman.

Should these people be referred to as Pastonistas?
