Simple, it's the Pasty!

At its root, a foods value can be measured in terms of how it imprints itself upon society. Every culture on the planet has developed a diet that their culture deems acceptable to the prosperity and advancement of its people.

Often times, aided by the invention of human transport, cultures adapt to new influences on their local cuisine. Think tomatoes from South America being brought into Europe and how the Italians incorporated them into their cuisine.

Some foods, such as bread, have stories dating back thousands of years. Some foods are born of necessity.

The glorious Pasty is one such food. Its value lies in the historical implications imparted from such a simple wholesome Meal-In-A-Crust. It represents history in transit. It reflects a shared culture with our closest political ally. It's a tasty visual to represent the power of the English empire. The Pasty is a testament to, a symbol of, English ingenuity and refinement. Societies around the world have taken the ingeniousness of a meat, vegetable, or fruit filling and wrapped it up in some sort of container for centuries. But, the Pasty has been accepted and adapted into more cultures than any other food around the world. From England, Mexico, Argentina, Ireland, Sweden, Australia, Germany, France, Jamaica, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, the Pasty has played a significant role in feeding humans for centuries.

Pasties bring more than nourishing ingredients to the body, for they have nourished the curiosity and inventiveness of modern industrialism as we know it.

The iron, coal, tin, copper, gold, and china clay mines were the ingredients used to fuel the modern industrial revolution. But what food was responsible for fueling the workers who poured their lives into shaping our planets outcome? Simple, it's the Pasty.

For a nearly a millennium, people the world over have relied on the perennial pasty to nourish their bodies with a hearty wholesome meal. Now in Oregon, you can have the classic convenience food enjoyed by so many from across the globe.
