Has anyone here had a pasty in the (U.S.) Midwest? I've had a hankering for one since reading American Gods.

Those are predominantly a European thing. I know that I've had one at a british pub once, but that was in Cupertino, CA. Sorry!

Huh. I thought they were just a Yooper thing. Shows how much I know...
I remember pasty. Now if they could do a dog meat pasty down at the Korean restaurant on Wenhua road, that I could really dig into.

What do we have in Idaho? I can't even think of anything.
I guess there's the Ice Cream Potato, which is a potato shaped lump of ice cream rolled in cocoa and cut open like a baked potato, then filled with assorted dessert toppings.
I've also heard the Winco over in Twin Falls sells locally made Halloumi cheese, which I have not tried, but would very much like to.

THEY ARE CORNISH!!!!
As a Cornishman it pi$$es me of every time when someone says they have a "pasty" when it was made in some factory in London. It is a bit like calling all sparkling wine Champaigne.And, as always, Mother makes the best pasties.
Edit: They come in two sizes row boat or sail boat. In other words small or as large as a house.

Sssh! Nobody mention Ginsters :)
Agreed, pasties are best home-made and are really easy to do acceptably (hard to do fantastically) - give it a go Ambrosia Slaad!

I like making those whenever I get the chance. There was an English pub by my in-laws that made some and were pretty good.
Patrick, I'll happily try your finely chopped bivalve, but I think that I will draw the line at Júlíus' rotting fish.
My contribution: Black Pudding - Sausage made from the blood and fat of pigs. Yum!
We call it Blood Sausage here in Denmark. I actually quite like it, just drizzle it with some nice syrup.
Another Dane! Hej med dig!
I grew up in Jutland and we had sheeps heads with mustard (only in the winter). the heads are boiled with herbs and then you scrape the goodies off- I've never heard of other people having done that, so I'm not sure if its just a family thing..?GRU

You learn something new every day. I always just knew of this type of pasty, and you wouldn't want to eat one.
NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

they both do cheep, mass-produced pasties - gregs as a "fast food", ginsters designed to be cooked in a microwave, or eaten cold
both are full of chemicals, preservatives and hardly any filling
Oh, Hotpockets.

Hotpockets were great in college. Now I don't like to think about all that sodium...
Oh, Hotpockets.
Ah, Hot Pockets.

Ok, I don't know. It depends on what they're made of and who was/is wearing them. ;)

*pokes ear* If you're in there, you can stick around a little while you're better than the manager I've had in there all day.
I am so going to look at that link when I get off, work
The other type of pasty (long "a") is a jewel or glitter or similar ornamentation worn on the nipples, held on by adhesive (hence "pasty" since it's "pasted on"). Usually used by exotic dancers when the club isn't rated for actual nudity.

The best part? I don't even need to click the link to quote it.
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it's the quiet voice at the end of the day that asks "Is there room in your head.. for just one more?"
You, my friend, have just gained more respect and admiration in my estimation. *applauds*

Well, in Iceland we have a similar dish. Only, spices were never used much with that dish. Here we eat it with mashed swede and carrots.

An Australian meat pie is a hand-sized meat pie containing largely minced meat and gravy sometimes with onion and often consumed as a takeaway food snack.
You forgot the mashed, runny green peas on top.
We often used to head down to Harry’s Café de Wheels for a 3am snack after the pubs closed … there’s nothing quite like eating meat pies with mashed peas on top by the harbour at Woolloomooloo in the early hours of the morning…
Mashed swede? Doesn't sound like it'd sell in Kalmar.

I know what it is. I still want to see. Of course it was not very satisfying when seen live at the first strip club I ever went to. Of course the others were not very fun either. Like going to a restaurant and seeing the food made by a great chef yet not being able to eat any of the food. Yet you still have to pay for it.

Yeah, that's why I stopped going to those types of places. That, any they always smelled of despair and loneliness.

Eating anything at a place called Woolloomooloo is probably beyond compare.

Try saying Woolloomooloo at 3 in the morning when you're 3 sheets to the wind (Drunk, pissed, tanked, full, obliterated, shattered, maggoted). I was born in Wollongong (the Gong for short), my wife's parents used to live in Wagga Wagga (A town so bad they had to name it twice).
Mothy - I used to get a frozen pie cut the lid off fill it with cheese and bacon put the lid back on, rub the pie down with a little milk to make the pastry fluffy then cook it in the oven.

Maggoted … that’s one I haven’t heard for a while. Good times. You forgot Sh*t-faced too (or, unlike me, you were trying to keep it above the gutter).

“Gong Uni Baby!” as one of my friends used to yell whenever the subject of where you went to tertiary education used to come up.

Giggling at sites like Despair.com is what kept me in the right side of sane during some dark days at work.

I was amazed that at a previous job I could display my Despair.com calendar and two posters with impunity.
Limitations and Mediocrity were the two posters, and they REALLY applied at that job.

Yeah, a couple of us had the framed desktop demotivators and the Pessimist's Mug (we weren't allowed to hang anything on our cubicle walls). The best part was a couple managers and the center director getting upset and trying to make us remove them. Oddly, HR sided with us (and the head HR guy was more evil than Catbert).

I'm in North Carolina. We are known for BARBEQUE; which is a noun, not a verb in these parts. The eastern and western sides of the state have an intense, never-ending debate as to the proper barbeque sauce recipe.
We are also avid drinkers SWEET TEA and CHEERWINE.
Grits, cornbread, fried okra, collard greens, and black-eyed peas are considered to be standard fare at any non-nationwide chain, family restaurant.

This is the one I gave my boss. It was referring to the owner of the company.
...Did I mention I hate meetings? :D

Um, you can send me some of that BBQ. I miss the vinegar based stuff that my ex used to make. Some sweet tea too!

Beyond cookies, I knew there was a reason I liked you.

You forgot the brunswick stew. Heretic. You probably secretly like that South Carolina mustard based barbeque abomination. :P
That she is cute?

Aww. ^_^
