You have said a lot of mean and wicked things over the years but none more hurtful than this post.
I can’t, I just can’t

Talking bad about Pasties is poisonous and destructive. My behavior during this thread was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of posting here, but comments about the tastiness of dry food was to much for me to bear, and I reacted emotionally...
I would like to publicly apologize to you, griz nation. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of Pastry, meat, and potato...

I agree. I am going to invent a new and improved pasty. Irish butter instead of shortening. More creative fillings. Not dry, not boring. No burger… ever. I will change the world.

I have a similar idea, only it involves changing up the dough and spinning it into a flat circle. Then, I’ll take some sort of red or white sauce and layer it on the dough. Finally, I’ll layer it with any toppings people choose before cooking it in a wood or coal-fired oven. Still workshopping the final phases. It’ll be a great improvement upon the pasty.
Plan B is to prepare a traditional pasty, pick it up, and dump it directly into the nearest toilet 20 minutes after it’s done.

I hate to break it to you, CDA, but that first idea has already been used. In Korea. It’s called the Bulgogi. Mmmmmm.
But I like Plan B!

You can thank pasties for that nice shiny car, new office, lunch breaks, and general malaise while at work. The labor movement started in the Butte mines, and I’m pretty sure it was because the Anaconda Co started requiring carrots and corn in pasties.
Ever hear the story of Frank Little? Dude was lynched from the 2nd street trestle, probably because he didn’t like pasties. I drive under that trestle all the time. There isn’t even a plaque.
It’s a crazy story. He was lynched by the very folks he was trying to protect. Now that’s power. The Anaconda Co hired its own workers to do it.
From wiki:
In the early hours of August 1, 1917, six masked men broke into Nora Byrne's Steel Block boardinghouse where Frank Little was staying. The men initially kicked in the wrong door in the boardinghouse, and when confronted by Byrne claimed to be (law) officers. Little was beaten in his room and abducted while still in his underwear. He was bundled into a car which sped away.
Little was later tied to the car's rear bumper and dragged over the granite blocks of the street. Photographs of his body show that his knee-caps had possibly been scraped off. Little was taken to Milwaukee Bridge at the edge of town where he was then hanged from a railroad trestle. The coroner found that Little died of asphyxiation. It was also found that his skull had been fractured by a blow to the back of the head caused by a rifle or gun butt. A note with the words "First and last warning" was pinned to his thigh, referring to earlier vigilantes giving people three warnings to leave town. The note also included the numbers 3-7-77 (a sign of Vigilantes active in the 19th century in Virginia City, Montana, some people thought referred to grave measurements), and the initials of other union leaders, suggesting they were next to be killed.
Union leaders who had seen Little's body at the time insisted that one of the murderers was Billy Oates, a notorious hired thug employed by Anaconda. The rationale for Oates' involvement was a small hole at the back of Little's head that had been "inflicted by the steel hook used by Oates on the stub of his amputated right arm".

Butte was such a family-oriented place back then. Refreshing.
Further amazing to me, is the US Government's 6+ year occupation of Butte Montana to ensure no labor strike interruption of copper mining.
The Labor Movement
The consolidation of mining interests placed heavy demands on the immigrant workers who toiled in the mines under harsh conditions. This situation led Butte to the forefront of labor organization and unionism, and it was one of the first cities in the world where the battle between labor and management played out.
Strikes and other conflicts sometimes turned violent, and conflicts were not only labor vs management. At times, unions vying for control turned against one another. Tensions broke loose during flashpoint events, such as the dynamiting of the Butte Miner's Union Hall in 1914 and the lynching of labor activist and International Workers of the World(IWW) organizer Frank Little in 1917. At the peak of the labor conflict, martial law was declared in Butte from 1914 until 1921, the longest period of military occupation in the U.S. since the reconstruction era.

Miners’ Union Hall 1914
This is what happens when you disparage pasties or add carrots

I see no mention of pasties in the quoted passages above. It’s no wonder, really.
Ok, hear me out on this pasty improvement idea:
You take a normal pasty, but instead of the pasty dough, you use a flour tortilla flash grilled on a flat top. Then, you fill it with whatever meat you want (carne asada, chicken al pastor, carnitas, etc.), some rice, beans, cheese, salsa, and guac. Then, you wrap it all up in said tortilla and sear it on the flat top again so it all stays together. The fellas can take it into the mines and eat something decent. Thoughts?

I can’t believe the craftiness of the Korean people sometimes. Gotta hand it to them for pre-stealing my pasty idea before I came up with it. My most recent one is a winner, however.

Now we’re getting somewhere!
Down, down in a copper mine, underneath the ground
Where a crappy pasty never can be found…

I was wondering how this thread has made it to 18 pages…now I see.
I still contend eGriz needs a Thread Hall of Fame section.
Note, this post is in no way meant to imply or suggest this thread would meet the strict HOF guidelines. But evidently length matters, if you believe my wife.
