Every region has their own classic foods, and Pennsylvania is no different. Although, arguably, ours are the best. Whether you're a long-time resident or have moved away, these iconic foods in Pennsylvania will make you think fondly of our state. Here are some of the best...

1. Pierogi

Pennsylvania has Polish roots, which endow us with such delicious foods as pierogi. This scrumptious filled dumpling is made with unleavened dough and often comes with a hearty dollop of sour cream. It doesn't get much more delicious than this!

Fried just right, which means not flipped - so that you can dip your toast and enjoy the gooey yolk.
