The traditional Cornish pasty originated from Cornwall, England, where it was a simple miners’ meal. Filled with onion, beef, diced potatoes, and rutabaga, pasties contain all the nourishment a miner would need during the day.

MICHIGAN'S ADOPTION OF THE PASTY

The pasty made its way to the United States, specifically, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula when copper was mined in the area. Cornwall miners came to the area in droves, bringing their skills and their food of choice – the Cornish Pasty. Over a century later, the pasty remains firmly ingrained within Michigan culture. Many people call it the state’s “unofficial dish,” and there is even a day dedicated to celebrating its deliciousness.

COOKING THE PERFECT CORNISH PASTY

To cook the perfect pasty, the precise balance of cut vegetables, meat, and pastry must be met to avoid dryness or too much moisture. To meet this balance, many chefs cook ingredients separately and combine them before filling. However, this is a time-consuming process for those trying to mass-produce the beloved dish.
