Pasty's are the food of the gods. Seriously, so good. Questions:

• Have you ever been to the US, particularly the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? They have a good pasty thing going on up there because of the historical mining. If you haven't been there, I suggest you check it out as a sort of cultural/professional excursion.

• If you have, what is your opinion of the best pasty in Michigan?

• Can you give me your recipe for a standard cornish pasty?

Also, there was the old tale that throwing the crimp down was an offering to the 'mine spirits'.

I'll look for that. I asked a question up there too, you should answer it!
