Story

The Pasty Story

If you have not previously encountered the “Pasty”, pronounced “Passtee”, we would like to introduce you briefly.
When the Welshmen and Cornishmen , who pioneered hard rock mining in Butte, came over from the Old Country, they brought over these subliminal meat pies which they enjoy even as the Irish reputedly love corn beef and cabbage. To the “Cousin Jacks” and the “Cousin Jennies” as Welsh and Cornish people are still called in Butte, the Pasty was a tradition as well as food and a miner finding one in his lunch box would fondly refer to it as “a letter from ‘one.”
Butte is a city of many strong national groups, and the epicure can find a variety of foods here. It all of Butte’s many races have adopted the Pasty for its convenience,its nourishment, and its ri h delicious taste.
In the Old Country, Pasties were washed down with ale. It whether with beer, milk, tea or coffee, you will find them a delightful food.
