I have no idea if their stuff is any good, but while editing the links page I came across the following place in Sarasota and was reminded of all the recent Florida-based Brit meat product threads in this forum..... ;)
4 & 20 Pasty Company
Enjoy.
Never heard of them. There's a little town in Wisconsin called Mineral Point thats got pasties in the blood. The town was founded by cornish tin miners and they brought the pasties with them. There's a little old fashioned diner on main street that excels at making "Traditional" cornish pasties. Was quite odd, sequestered away in sausage and cheese land.
My mate, Scott, who's about as native cornwall as you can get, pointed out that they shouldn't freeze the dough, but make it fresh.
"Makes Pasties Pastey" He remarked.
Never heard of them? You're at the other end of the country, so it's hardly suprising roll
Yes, there are plenty around for us lucky enough to be in the northern states -it's the national dish of Michigan's UP- and most will ship all over the US, but this one's in Florida where they're less common and you can walk in a buy one over the counter, which I thought might be of interest to those living in that area, especially those who often post here looking for British-style meat products......
Well, I can say first hand I went there!
Have to say it was Very Good! Very Impressed.
Went in with my wife and as soon as we walked in he gave me his order pad??? roll No pressure to buy the whole joint though!!! roll
However I was very impressed by how close to home his bakery stuff was but it was VERY VERY expensive, which I don't understand why as its not in an area that would have high overheads or anything. For one Cheese Pastie it was $5.85!!! When I left England it was 40p for one and thats Expensive, High VAT Britian!!!
It's a total rip off when you got a Mexican Take away a few doors down selling like Chicken Tacos for like $1 each etc? theres no reason at all he has to charge what he charges, it's not like he has to import in the onions, cheese, pastry etc.
It's about as good as a Bakery Back home which is a good thing but on average 8 times the price on every item.
That's because he knows there are those who will pay $5 for a pasty.
/over a barrel is the phrase I believe

Yes you are right, he knows there are those who will pay that...I know I refuse to pay $6 (3 pound 30 Pence) for a cheese Pastie 8 times the amount of a cheese pastie in England. I won't be taken advantage of.
Damn Midge, you really really have to learn to cook. Make your own pasties and undercut the opposition.

Bloody right Son! I'll open my own place up and sell them for less than in England (Which AMerica has lower VAT and Overheads, so I can)
Will give people value for money...Not Day Light Robbery!!!!
You are the second person I know, after my wife, to use the word "which" in such a way. I wonder where that grammatical problem came from...
On the subject of pasties at $6 and tacos at $1, if you go to the UK you will probably find pasties at £1 and tacos at £6. It's all about market forces. People charge what they think people will pay. Go to business school to find out more.

Alternatively, Midge could run for public office and then get a subsidy applied to all British foods manufactured or sold in the US. Market forces appear to take a holiday when US farming subsidies are considered - do they discuss those much at business school?
Vote Midge - you know it makes sense!
