Reader's Digest 7月号の記事 "The Best Snack in Every State" からの引用です。

Runza
These stuffed bread bundles have German-Russian roots. Brimming with seasoned ground beef, cabbage and onions, the savory parcels are so beloved in Nebraska that we've named them the state sandwich and signature dish in previous years. The runza's snack status was a shoo-in, too, considering that many fans call them the original Hot Pockets.
