Michigan's Upper Peninsula

 This peninsula is just across the lake, but very different from Door County. There is less of a touristy feel to the general area, but the State Parks are more crowded. Today we did some shopping and what we purchased was a combination of local cuisine and traditional tourist goodies.


Pasties

We get pasties when we are in this part of the country. If you have not tasted a pastie, it reminds me of a Swanson Chicken Pot Pie, but handmade and more expensive. You pay for the ambience, but Bessie's Pasties are the real deal. Only the chicken was available, but I prefer it to beef anyway. 



Smoked Stuff

We visited a smoked fish store and purchased smoked white fish and lake trout, smoked jerky. and some really great stuff to spread on crackers. 



Fudge

Fudge is the tourist's staple, but it is still a must buy.




Time to sample the fudge and then a nap.
