I have no idea how they matched WV with a slaw dog. I’ve never seen that. Hot dogs here are plain vanilla. Generally it’s a bland, to my taste, chilli, onions and mustard and ketchup as preferred.
The real WV originated food is the pepperoni roll. Those were invented here and the good ones are something to write home about. Ramps, in season, aren’t limited to WV. They are still the centerpiece of community get togethers and the bane of school teachers when a student shows up the next day after partaking. Locomotive breath is milder.
I concur, in my part of WV pepperoni rolls are much more popular than slaw dogs. Ramps are native from South Carolina to Canada. I hope to go digging some soon.
I should have read the comments before posting. My first thought was pepperoni rolls too.
