Here in northern Michigan, the specialty is pasties. Pasties are little meat and veggie pies, some made with rutabagas, some with potatoes. You see signs all over as well as in every restaurant and in the grocery stores. My husband's Kiwanis club makes and sells them twice a year so we usually buy a dozen for the freezer. My friend and her husband had an ongoing argument about what to put on them... catsup or gravy. We go for gravy up here, but I sneak some catsup sometimes! Also, lots of fish up here... perch, trout, salmon, but especially whitefish that is caught in Lake Superior.
