Traditional Steak Pasties Found In Edinburgh Scotland

Four Golden-Brown Pasties Labeled “Traditional Cornish Steak Pasty” Sit In A Glass Display Case Above A “Mòr Bakery” Sign.

Traditional Steak Pasties Found In Edinburgh Scotland — and this photo shows four baked “Traditional Cornish Steak Pasty” hand pies in a glass case at Mòr Bakehouse in Edinburgh.

If you’re from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this looks familiar. Pasties came to the U.P. with Cornish miners in the 1800s because they were a hearty, portable meal for long shifts underground — and they’re still a Yooper staple today.

Have you had a “real” Cornish pasty, or do you swear the best ones are in the U.P.? Tell us where your go-to pasty comes from.
