What's one US food invention you wouldn't want to live without? Hot dogs? Hamburgers? Something less basic?

One of the few places I'm proud to represent my home state: Pepperoni rolls.
I had one not too long ago in Harper’s Ferry, not bad!
Haven't been to Harper's Ferry in forever. It's beautiful. I should probably take a day trip up this fall.
It wasn't invented in West Virginia, but I feel like the thing that I most enjoyed in West Virginia that I don't find nationwide is apple butter.
For sure. It's crazy popular here, but I never much cared for it.
Yeah man, I went to a WVU game, that was a heap of fun! WVU games are such a blast.
Folks kept talking about Pepperoni Roles so I had some and I really don’t get it. It is a basically a Stromboli hold everything but pepperoni.
Leave one out for Mothman.
I've had similar food before, but never exactly that, looks good! The history is interesting, being invented for coal miners is a very WV.
There's good ones, and there's the ones you can buy at the gas station, lol. If you're ever in the area, I can recommend some good ones.
A couple weeks ago a bunch of friends from college came in for a semi-annual get together. The ones from out of state were all craving pepperoni rolls. I begged them not to buy anything from a gas station / convenience store and to let me hook them up.
I showed up the next day with $100 worth of these super bougie artisanal rolls from a local place. They were a hit.
