Is this like biscuits but with meat?  More like a dinner roll. I stole this from Wiki "The pepperoni roll was invented by Giuseppe "Joseph" Argiro at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, West Virginia, in 1927.[5] The rolls originated as a lunch option for the coal miners of north-central West Virginia in the first half of the 20th century.[1][6] Pepperoni rolls do not need to be refrigerated for storage and could readily be packed for lunch by miners. Pepperoni and other Italian foods became popular in north-central West Virginia in the early 20th century, when the booming mines and railroads attracted many immigrants from Italy.[1] The pepperoni roll bears a resemblance to the pasty and sausage roll, which originated in the mining communities of Great Britain, as well as to the Italian calzone. " One of the coal mining towns was named Brooklyn by the coal company to trick italian immigrants into coming there where they had no choice but to work in the mines. |

There's a place called Glory's Bakery in Virginia Beach that sells these. I ate them a lot more as a teenager, but now that you mention it, I think I know what's for dinner tonight.

Wow. That's a lot of pepperoni rolls? Where is that at? Those look quite a bit like public school pepperoni rolls, which may in fact be some of the best I've ever had. Everyone around here remembers "pepperoni roll day" and trying to sweet talk the lunch ladies into letting you have two. It's in Huntington at Brunetti's Bakery. Our Boy Scout troop makes them every year. I love that place. I might have to check out Brunetti's. I've been here two years and have never heard of it. Do they always have those pepperoni rolls, or is ithat a special thing they let the boyscouts make? |

I have three dozen left to sell! (: $6.00 per half dozen. |

Calzones don't have sauce, sauce is on the side and you dip or pour on the top. Seriously, who are you people?  Pizza heathens.  Least free state in the nation, but at least you can get a good fucking pizza.We'll die in chains, but at least we will have a great last meal.

So it got brought up in conversation the other day that people outside of West Virginia are unfamiliar with the delicious food item known as a pepperoni roll. This was baffling to me and I had trouble believing that it was actually true. I asked my sister who goes to school in NC and she said she had, in fact, met people who did not know what they were. To me, that would be like not knowing what a sandwich is. I consider them a basic staple food. Do people outside the state not eat them, or do they just have a different name? It's basically a dinner roll that is hollow and filled with cheese and pepperoni. Here's a pic I got off of google. I was going to post pics of the ones my aunt made for me, but they weren't very photogenic so I just ate them. http://withduckandgoose.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/pepperoni_roll01.jpg Used to eat one a couple of times aweek from grade school through high school here in michigan. Best ones I have ever had are from a little hole in the wall bakery that was on the way to school. J- |
