What is Pepperoni Roll?
Roll Pepperoni is a snack invented in West Virginia, which is most likely popular with regional coal miners who needed portable snacks that did not need cooling. Part of the Pepperoni roll consists of soft white bread, while the center contains a stick, a few slices or some ground or crushed pepper. The taste comes from the baking process when the oil is soaked in the bread. This process creates a distinctive orange red site at the end of the war.
