Just returned from another driving tour to Michigan. This time we purchased a pastie at Royal Farm and Winery. I’m in love!
But the cook and others at the market told us it isn’t a true pastie unless it has rudabega (spelling?)in it.

I’m a Michigander by birth, I was visiting Mac City earlier this month and stopped to pick up a dozen pasties. Brought them home all the way to Florida to share with friends. They all liked them. Got them at the Pasties Co. ( Good Eats );o}

We lived in lower Michigan but visited the UP each summer as my father’s family were in the Negaunee/Ishpeming area. We had family reunions and while other families ate fried chicken and potato salad we had pasties and Cross and Blackwell Mustard Pickle. I live in western Wisconsin now and we recently got a pretty good pasty place. Yum!

I may get kicked out of my wife’s family for my perversion of the family pasty recipe: http://marty-littlebites.blogspot.com/ Do you know of any traditional pasties that use bacon and / or fresh herbs?

I’m driving through the UP right now, stuck at a detour of course, and was wondering what pasties were. Thanks! I might pull off and get one

Many years ago My Grandfather, Louis C. Gerbec lived in Houghton for most of his life and was Chief of Police, Then a County Comissioner. Anyway As we always visited Houghton and then on to Jamestown to the cottage, during the summer my favorite memories are swimming in Lake Superior and then back to eat all the pastys we could. We would buy them or my grandparents would hand make for us. Of course They always did like to spoil us..Thanks for the memories on this site.

There are a couple of really great pasty places along US 2 as well as around NMU’s campus in Marquette. All of the best places are practically anonymous and even with a troll pass, you have to beg a Yooper to tell you where to find the best of the best.

Thanks for using my picture. I didn’t make the pasty, so I’m not sure about the fold. It tasted good though.

BTW, I went to school at Michigan Tech.
