According to David Gutman, the West Virginia House of Delegates today voted in favor of House Concurrent Resolution 84 crowning the pepperoni roll as the state food.

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

Mmmmmm. Uga. Spasteelia a bukadunka. Race a spuce adoobla. Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha. Roll de la pepperoni! Hay lapa no ya, Holgo! Tudor, make-cheesay. Pa'sa tah ono caulky malia. Ee youngee d'emperolo teesaw. Twa spastika awahl no. Yanee dah poo noo. Squak. - King Tudor

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.
