Where to get meat pies in the USA?

[Altitude sickness]

Like many original dishes. The true Finland Pastie is pretty bland. Cheap meat, potatoes and lard


But after being “Americanized” the U.P. Pastie is very good.

One of my fav foods from traveling in UK, Africa, etc are the savory meat pies and Cornish pasties. Are any of you ordering these online and shipping to yourselves in the USA? Which brands are the best? Have you found any in our restaurants that are good? I need to learn how to make them.

My friend, if you are in Michigan on 15 February (fat chance...) for my Tally Ho Safaris open house, you can dine on my charming wife's venison and bison meat pastry pies! If you come early, you could even help her make them.

To all my African Hunting friends,

On 15 February 2026 my charming wife and I will hold an Open House with special guests Stuart Williams and his PH Rudi Nel of Talley-Ho Safaris, Limpopo South Africa. All are welcome even if you have no plans on ever hunting Limpopo. Come over and meet an exceptional gentleman Stuart and rock hard Rudi along with me and hopefully a couple dozen or more Africa hunters! We can tell stories of our hunts and adventures, and discuss rifles, loading ammunition, and shooting.

Location is 30 miles north of Detroit just outside a farming...

Brett’s Biltong in Llano, Texas has a selection of meat pies. He opened a second store in Rowlett, up near Dallas.

Looks like the link is this https://brettsbiltong.com/

I see they have Mrs Ball's Chutney! I don't see the pies on their website. Is that visible only at the location?

Pasties followed the Cornish tin miners to American mining booms. We have the world's largest Finnish community outside of Finland and I've never seen pasties sold in the restaraunts here. The Upper Penninsula also is home to a large Finnish community that originally came for the mining and logging. Apparently many of our Finns emigrated from the UP during the labor strife at the end of the 19th century. The communist Finns were run out and came here (yes, Finland was a hotbed of communist radicals early on).

You are right, though. I find Finnish food generally very bland. They are not big on spices.
