And the pumpkin roll wins!!!

Thank you everyone for the feedback! Looks like the pumpkin roll has won this competition. I guess with Thanksgiving and it being fall time people love the pumpkin recipes! Xander made a good point that “apple feels acceptable all the time so pumpkin roll wins for the season”. I will have to do some more research Nikki, but I do think that it is a Pennsylvania/Lancaster county food. Also Nikki I do have to agree with you that it does stink for people not from this area! Once again thanks again for the feedback and tune in next week for some new recipes! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
