    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.
