10 Foods Pennsylvanians Can’t Get Enough Of
1. Cheesesteaks, obviously
Although Philadelphia gets most of the attention, Delco and many of the surrounding counties across the state love their Cheesesteaks, too. The real question is: Do you like yours wiz wit or without?
2. Primanti Brothers sandwiches
Started in Pittsburgh in 1940s, there are now over 20 locations scattered throughout the state. Who doesn’t love massive sandwiches on fresh Italian bread piled high with meat, cheese, fresh-cut fries, tomatoes, and coleslaw?
3. Perogies
They are EVERYWHERE in Pennsylvania and engrained in most locals’ taste buds.
4. Scrapple
You either love it or hate it but Scrapple has its devoted fans.
5. Whoopie pies
The best snacks you can get at farmers’ markets.
6. Potato chips
Nothing beats the taste of Utz, Middleswarth, and Herr’s.
7. Hershey’s chocolate products
We want them all!
8. Tastykake products
Our favorite ones include Kandy Kakes, cupcakes, pies, doughnuts, Dreamies, and Minis.
9. Mushrooms
Kennett Square is the mushroom capital of the world. It is estimated that nearly 50% of the nation’s mushrooms are grown there.
10. Stromboli
Calzone with a twist (literally).
