Chicken & Dumplings | Nov. 7
There’s no doubt chicken and dumplings has been a staple in American cooking for generations, however, the controversy on where it originated is still up for debate today. Some say that chicken and flour were the least expensive ingredients available to Mountaineers during the Great Depression and that is why the dish became so popular. However, others argued that chicken was rare and valued during the Great Depression because of egg production and was only consumed on special occasions. Either way, chicken and dumplings has made its way back in to mountain life with modern recipes everyone is sure to enjoy.

Pepperoni Rolls | Nov. 9
According to Jeanne Mozier in her indispensable guide book,” Way Out in West Virginia,” the Pepperoni Roll was invented by Giuseppe “Joseph” Argiro at The Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, W.Va. Fairmont’s miners needed food that was portable, sturdy and long-lasting. When Argiro, a former miner, noticed many of his co-workers munching of a piece of Pepperoni and a piece of bread, he began baking rolls with pepperoni sticks on the inside. The rest, as they say, is history.

Peach & Apple Cobbler | Nov. 10
Cobblers are an American deep-dish fruit dessert or pie with a thick crust (usually a biscuit crust) and a fruit filling (such as peaches, apples, berries). Some versions are enclosed in the crust, while others have a drop-biscuit or crumb topping. Berry cobblers were born from traditional English suet puddings, with berries being substituted for ingredients not readily available.
