From the March 20, 2013, Metro News W.V. by Jeff Jenkins.
A resolution has been introduced into the West Virginia House of delegates to make the pepperoni roll the state's official food.
It was first introduced by Italian immigrants in north central West Virginia as a filling food that coal miners could take to work.
Fairmont is generally regarded as the home of the pepperoni roll.
Personally, I'd like to have every state have a state food. I'll have to try a pepperoni roll next time through the state.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
