Do the Irish eat the Finnish-American delicacy pasties?

In the Upper Midwest (and in Colorado, and probably parts of Canada), Cornishmen were the experts on mining and immigrants from elsewhere learned from them. And along the way, they picked up pasties -- which are apparently quite handy for eating under the ground.

So: In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, there's Toivo and Eino's Pasty Sauce. Toivo and Eino are the standard names in jokes about Finnish-Americans; equivalent to Pat and Mike or Ole and Sven.

In Minneapolis supermarkets, the Mexican food sections include: 1) Food imported from Mexico; 2) Food from Texas with labels partly in Spanish, including such exotica as spaghetti; 3) Taco Bell sauces.
