Question: has anybody here tried/heard of suet and onion pudding? I always thought it was a just a common British meal but I've got friends who aren't from the area and whenever I've mentioned it in the past I've got a confused look and they've said it sounds disgusting. Are they just being stupid or is it a Northern thing?
My aunt made pasties for 3 of her daughters weddings, and made, by her count, 10,000 more to build this: Our Lady of the Rockies
She once got irate with me because I said I liked the product from Joe's Pasty Shop. She preferred to make her own. A good friend of mine once quit speaking to me for the same reason; she prefers Nancy's Pasties.
Butte is known as the "festival City" because, during July, we host the Montana Folk Festival, Evel Knieval Days and the AnRiRa Irish Festival. These are all three international events- at least a few people come from abroad, though we'll see over 100,000 extra people here each July. The guythat runs Park Street Pasties runs a booth through all the events and, I've heard, makes upwards of $50,000 that month. I have never had his pasties- Joe's is closer.
