Those pasties are good; we have a couple of places in North Jersey that sell them, and they fly off the shelves (I believe they only open Tuesday through Friday, and those things aren’t cheap). I saw one on the news out in NW Jersey (where there was mining in the 19th century - they were a miners’ lunch that would “keep” for hours), and people still liked them 150 years later.

A lot of people from Cornwall settled in Wisconsin and the Michigan Upper Peninsula. My grandmother, who grew up in the UP and learned a number of different ethnic dishes, taught my mother how to make pasties. And there are areas of Wisconsin settled by Cornish immigrants, and they have pasty shops. But none of them were as good as the pasties I ate in Cornwall. Incidentally, there’s a rivalry between Cornwall and the adjoining county Devon over who has the best pasties. I’ll have to try a Devon pasty if I get the chance the next trip to Britain.
