    My Grandmother made these all the time, as my Grandfather was a miner from Cornwall, and they lived in Ironwood Michigan, where he continued mining. The beef she used wasn’t soaked in beer, and she sometimes added pork to her recipe, along with the ingredients you use.I would like to try yours, and see if it tasted the same, as I haven’t had a pasty in years-”Joe’s Pasty shop”is in Milwaukee, and Michigan I believe, but haven’t traveled there for quite awhile. Morton Grove has a farmers market every Saturday, so if you could arrange to be a vendor there- that would be totally cool.I have so many fond memories of eating a pasty with my Dad-more people should learn about them!

      I grew up in Ironwood and loved pasties. Joe’s pasties were always the best. I’ve been looking for them in the Chicago area. None to be found. Can’t wait to try Bridgeport’s. I’ve never heard of beef soaked in beer. The grocery store sold what was called “pasty meat”. Not sure what part of the cow it comes from.
