Tim,
Also very popular in Madison, WI. We had lead miners from
Cornwall in this area. (Badger state, miners.. get it?) One could
argue our metal State and lead connection.....
Here's a review of the most notable place in Madison for
pasties, Myles Teddywedgers Pasty Restaurant. (maybe I'll bring the
potato salad after all) (btw, it's not mine. I've just been keeping it)
"So I'm a huge fan of any ethnic food culture that has discovered
that stuffing meat and/or cheese into a pastry shell is
delicious. So one day I tried the ground beef and onion pasty at
this little shop, served to me by a friendly long-haired hippie
dude. Well, I get no further than bite two, and what's that extra
ingredient that I detect? A hair of course. But not just any old
little hair, like a two foot long hair, most certainly from that
greasy hippie's long doo. A long hair in my pasty will always seal
the deal for me to never go back."
