Pennsylvania does not just center around Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and looking to the countryside and its many towns in between opens the doors to other interesting and fun opportunities, especially when it comes to unique culinary trails.
The state offers five different itineraries for charcuterie and meat lovers to explore.
