Cuisine of Philadelphia
Cuisine of Philadelphia is a unique style of food preparation originating from the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has developed through history, influenced by the city's mix of ethnicities and cultures.
History
The cuisine of Philadelphia was shaped by several ethnic groups, including the Italian, Irish, African American, and Jewish communities. Each group brought their unique culinary traditions, contributing to the city's diverse food scene.
Notable dishes
Philadelphia cheesesteak
The Philadelphia cheesesteak is perhaps the city's most famous dish. It is a sandwich made from thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long roll. The cheesesteak was developed in the early 20th century by Italian immigrants and has since become a popular fast-food item in the Philadelphia area.
Hoagie
The hoagie is another popular sandwich originating from Philadelphia. It consists of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments on a roll. The hoagie is also known as a sub, hero, or grinder in other parts of the United States.
Soft pretzel
The soft pretzel is a type of baked bread product made from dough most commonly shaped into a twisted knot. Philadelphia-style soft pretzels are noted for their distinct shape - a figure-eight twist as opposed to the traditional pretzel loop.
Scrapple
Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name panhaas, is a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices.
