    That could be why, yeah. It’d make sense. My family is from WV originally (I never lived there though), and “poverty foods” aren’t looked down on. Honestly, some of my favorite comfort foods are “poverty foods.”

        Black beans, sausage, and rice is a common one I really like. A WV special is pepperoni rolls, which can have cheese but it isn’t required. Everyone loves those when they try them. I’m not sure why they haven’t spread further.

          The black bean dish is fairly common in the south! I think it’s mostly inertia on that one. I’m unwilling to specify where I live, but I can tell you that pepperoni rolls are common food here. Often a bit fancier due to the new trend of bloomy pepperoni. I hope you can find some bakeries to fulfill your nostalgia, as I have
