My efforts to find a local purveyor of Yooper pasties led me to try out Crikey's Original Australian Pies, which coincidentally are produced here in Toledo. While not a match for the pasty, Crikey's makes an excellent pie with a flaky crust and delicious fillings.
Crikey's Pies retail for $3.99 here in Toledo at the local Kroger, and since they are quite a bit larger than a frozen pot pie, they are worth the price. Now, if I can only find a true-blue pasty, especially without winding up with a case of plantar fasciitis from pounding the proverbial pavement.

I cannot believe I have heard another person voice a craving for a Pastie!
I spent a lot of time in the YooPee when I lived in the midwest and I ate a lot of Pasties....
You can't get them here....
Monsieur Microdot,
You can of course get a pastie...next time you are in Paris, try La Bourse ou La Vie on the Rue des Panoyaux. Their pasties are as delectable as the Cornish version. There is another place in the Pigalle along the Bd. de Rouchechouart that is not as good, but far better than the UP offerings that I have ingested.
Maybe I should open up a Pasty Barn next to the Blini Hut in Objat...
I'm a long way from Paris!

Fedex overnight! We had pasties from their store when we were up there a couple of years ago.
So not really cost effective. I tried to order some just now, and shipping was ridiculous.
I'll have to look for Crikey's!
