Oh come on... we had more 'n pasties... We had, um, hard cider and, let's see here, um, LOADS of church potlucks with such delicacies as pickled green beans and chili pie (for the exotic minded amongst us), and jello with fruit cocktail suspended in it.

But seriously- the UP is filled with loads of good game recipes. Deer are plentiful and some of my best venison recipes come from (no laughing) church auxillary ladies' club cookbooks.

P.S. The Cornish population in the mines was eclipsed by that of the Finnish population. My Dad's boss was a Finnish guy who'd drink coffee hot enough to give a normal human being a serious second degree burn. My Mom's boss was a Finnish guy who poured his coffee into his saucer before drinking it. Lots of Finns in the UP, yeah, eh?
