What is a pasty?

A pasty (say PASS-tee) is a hearty hand-held pie: a savory filling baked inside a folded, homemade crust. Cornish pasties, which originate from Cornwall, England, came to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the 19th century with immigrant families who had come to the mines in search of work.

Ours are made the way they were in 1947: beef, potato, rutabaga and onion inside our homemade crust. Every pasty arrives fully cooked and frozen, ready to heat.
