The delectable meat-filled hand pie we call the pasty is an ancient invention, first mentioned in Chaucer and a staple of many working-class European and immigrant diets ever since. But it was (arguably) perfected in Butte, America. Once a mainstay of miners, who would throw the crusts into the mines to appease the Tommyknockers lurking there, it remains the favorite food of the Richest Hill on Earth - and maybe the rest of the state, too.
Refreshments at 5:30 p.m.
