> [@nogravity](#): > > Illinois Roll - smelt wrapped in corn. > > For the non fish eaters - Italian Beef wrapped in corn. When I visited friends in Springfield, everything had “chilli” in it or on it. Is this unique to Springfield, or is it common throughout Illinois? P.S. I enjoyed it. I started putting chili into “devilled” eggs after my visit. ---

Most of these sound pretty good! Can the northeners get in on this? Seems like a Quebec roll would have to be cheese curds and gravy, wrapped in a french fry… An Ontario roll might be some thin-sliced venison, wrapped in rainbow trout, and drizzled with maple syrup. ---

> [@Aeris](#): > > I say that it should be ham, wrapped in a pierogi, with some fries sticking out of the middle. Too much potato. Besides, this is actually a Central PA roll. Let Pittsburgh and Philly get their own rolls. 🙂 ---
