Re: Shine and rolls
I am not a moonshine fan. My Scottish/Irish/German heritage does not like corn based liquor. I'm more of a Speyside single malt fan.

Re: Shine and rolls
It's a traditional food in Appalachia (like the article mentions). My mom just makes a gastronomical masterpiece (she's from Pittsburgh). The ones you can get in gas stations/grocery stores are the kind where it's more like a stuffed bun, than a true roll. Think this:

Re: Shine and rolls
The bottom picture is the one I'm familar with. Origin of the pepperoni roll (as I've been taught) was an easy way for coal miners to take a meat/bread lunch in their "bucket". The "bucket" carried water or tea in the bottom and had a tray on top, covered with a lid, for food. Best pepperoni rolls I've ever had were several places, especially my mother-in-law's kitchen, in north central WV.

Re: Shine and rolls
The rolls with pepper, cheese and sauce are also very good - just not original. The original is preferred by the coal miners so they can better enjoy their dessert.

Re: Shine and rolls
That's absolutely true, if I was a coal miner, and I couldn't afford a lunch box, I'd go with the bottom one.

Hot pockets are praised by pool sharks. Rolls are preferred by Mountaineers, British royalty, and sheiks.buddtholomew wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 8:24 amWe call them hot pockets and they’re in the freezer section at Safeway. Haha.

Re: Shine and rolls
I guess of the 3 listed i would hang out with the Mountaineers.
