" I dislike the pasty. It has nothing to do with mining, and I think most
people will just mistake it for a funny-looking rock."
"i think for the customer, the
pastee should be changed into a rock since the assignment was to
represent iron ore heritage area"
"I like the pasty but it dosent really go with the theme. "
"Parts of Wisconsin, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the Iron Range of northern Minnesota. In some of these areas, pasties are now a major tourist draw, including an annual Pasty Fest in early July in Calumet, Michigan. Pasties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan have a particularly unusual history, as a small influx of Finnish immigrants followed the Cornish miners, in 1864. These Finns (and many other ethnic groups) adopted the pasty for use in the Copper Country copper mines. About 30 years later, a much larger flood of Finnish immigrants found their countrymen baking pasties, and assumed that it was a Finnish invention. As a result, the pasty has become strongly associated with Finnish culture in this area.[2]" - Wikipedia

It makes me sad to know that people don't know the History of Pasties and why they are so prevalent in the U.P. =<
