The menu said that the word pasty rhymes with nasty, in case you're wondering how to pronounce it.
The pasty is a humble pie, a simple meal consisting of meat, potatoes, onions and crust. They start baking them at 5:30 am in the winter and 4 am in the summer and sell around 150 a day.
The creation originates in Cornwall, England, and was a staple of the miners' diet. A they came to the US for mining, they brought it along with them which is why you can find them in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula as well as in many places in southwestern Wisconsin. Often, they're referred to as Cornish pastys.
Early pastys had a flap of crust where the miners could hold them so as to keep from getting their dirty hands on what they were eating.
