Let’s have fun today, PA! Life’s certainly thrown a huge curve ball at us the last few weeks, which means a whole lot of us are now in quarantine. Whether we’re isolated or not, most of us are dealing with stress daily. So, today, let’s take a lighthearted peek at the eight things every Pennsylvanian has in their fridge and pantry during quarantine.
- Toilet paper, bread, and milk.

- Snacks, snacks, snacks
Flickr/Diehl As residents of the Snack Food Capital of the World, we are pretty much obligated to have our pantries stocked with snacks. We’ll have plenty of time, after all, to munch on such popular PA snacks as Martin’s Potato Chips, Turkey Hill Ice Cream, and Herr’s pretzels, chips, and other goodies.
- Chocolate

- Pierogis
Flickr/stu_spivack Pierogis really do deserve consideration as one of the state foods, don’t you think? Now is the perfect time to learn how to make pierogis from scratch. Or, we can just cook the frozen ones stocked in our freezer.
- Chipped Chopped Ham

- Lebanon Bologna

- Beer/Wine

Don’t have alcoholic beer? Then surely you have the birch beer, a PA favorite. It’s a definite must during quarantine.
