The pepperoni roll is the official state food of West Virginia, per a resolution in the @wvhouse today.

Even Jay Rockefeller has commented on this momentous occasion.

While Fairmont natives everywhere rejoice, King Tudor's is not happy.

While we are not completely sure what this means, our little knowledge of Tudorese and Spanish spells out that Tudor's will probably invade Colasessano's, Country Club Bakery, and any gas station within the state border that sells pepperoni rolls. Better stock up, people, the siege could go on for a while.
