If you can't get to the UK for pasties, the Upper Pennisula of Michigan (UP) is also known for them. The miners used to take them in the mines with them for lunch. There are still many pasty shops up there and they are quite tasty! The #1 pasty shop in the UP is in the little town that my family is from and every time I visit, I have to get my fix. They way they eat them up there is with ketchup. They also started making pumpkin pasties and these are great little desserts! I think Harry Potter might have had an influence on those though since they didn't start making them until about 5 years ago...
