Distinctive Philadelphian dishes include:
- Cheesesteaks, a kind of humble culinary masterpiece, made of cheese (usually either Cheez Wiz(tm), provolone or American) and slices of fried ribeye steak on a hoagie (Italian) roll, sometimes combined with onions or mushrooms - recent innovations include a chicken and a vegetarian variant
- Hoagies -- a sandwich made with cold cuts on an Italian roll, a localised variant of the submarine sandwich
- Scrapple -- corn meal mush cooked up with every part (scrap) of the pig from the Pennsylvania Dutch country of Lancaster County
- Italian ice (Water Ice)-- a frozen dessert, similar to a slushie except stiffer
- Irish ice -- Irish ice is a creamier, thicker form of water ice
- Polish ice -- A much looser, creamier form of Italian Ice, usually coming only in chocolate and vanilla
- Soft pretzel -- thick, doughy pretzels, generally salted, often served with mustard. Unlike soft pretzels of other cities, which are the same shape as hard pretzels, Philadelphia soft pretzels have a long, thin block-like shape.
