Even the “Foodie Blogs” are writing about West Virginia’s “unique” road food…
The many Americans who learned everything they know about West Virginia from John Denver probably don’t realize the state is renowned for its chili dogs and pepperoni rolls, two foodstuffs featured prominently in the brand-new brochure “101 Unique Places to Dine in West Virginia.”
The brochure, issued last week by the West Virginia Division of Tourism and the Collaborative for the 21st Century Appalachia, highlights the Mountain State’s momentous culinary achievements that apparently didn’t rhyme with “Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River,” including horseradish pickles, buckwheat pancakes and beer served in fishbowls (the signature item at Mario’s in Morgantown.)
I had noticed this just this week on the Division of Tourism’ web site…It looks like I wasn’t the only one.
