Local 3's, Korinne Griffith, spends a day in the life of a yooper at Lawry's Pasty Shop in Marquette, Michigan. Watch as she learns to make a pasty -- a Yooper delicacy.
From Cornwall, UK, I grew up on Cornish pasties, veggie ones since I went vegetarian in 1981. Every Cornish town has multiple pasty (Oggy) bakeries and shops.
Wow, did this bring back the memories. My dad's family were miners up in Ishpeming , MI. Grew up eating the pasty. This is a piece of home for me. During the war we had a boarding house in Detroit for the factory workers, and Mom made the pasty for them as well.
I'm a born and raised Cornishman ..... and I'm not a purist !! It's so nice to see the next generation of "pasties" ..... Miners from Cornwall brought the Pasty with them. These aren't traditional "Cornish" pasties .... but are traditional Michigan pasties !! The "Jamaican beef patty" is also another generation of a pasty ...... brought to Jamaica by Cornish miners ..... then the locals redesigned to suit their tastes, There is really no right or wrong ....... as long as you don't call it a "Cornish Pasty" .....
For all the times I dove thru the UP, I wish I had known the restaurant was there, some make pasties, and then there is THE Pasty. Ive been making pasties for as long as I can remember, I shared them with my wife 8 years ago when we met...she had never heard of one!! Now we make them almost every holiday ;)
Wife & I always get 2 on our way through, at the West Ishpeming shop. My wife orders 2 Cudighi also from cell pH when we are about 15 min west of town. Our once a year treat.
In Cornwall UK, the original Cornish Pasty recipe uses skirt beef ( diaphragm). I am Cornish, but because I live outside Cornwall, I can’t call the pasties I make, Cornish.
I grew up in Rock. Live near Detroit many years. Have lots of family up there. I watched the channel from the college NMU(call letters?), WLUC, and WJMN. This makes me hungry for pasty ! Btw NOT a troll, TRANSPLANTED Yooper.
I saw a lady making them today on Utube.. 9 is what came out. Bit didn't look as nice! I don't know what rutabaga look like.. I made filling almost same but my dough was hard not happy with my results but I am gonna try hard till I get it right . Thank you for your video!!
It is. Look up the definition of a pasty. They are called different names all over the world. It is just pastry with a savory filling. They are not Cornish pasties. They never said they were. They are Michigan pasties.
