We don't have a lot of Jamaicans here but my co-op bakery is making
them anyway, a fairly bland version though. They are also producing
Scottish meat pies, English pigs in blankets and Virginia style
pepperoni rolls and selling them in the in-house bakery in pairs for
snacks and quick lunches to go.

      Title: About Pepperoni Rolls

           Pepperoni
           Bread
 
  A snack originating in Fairmont, West Va. The term "pepperoni
  roll" is also used in some parts of the U.S. to refer to a
  stromboli made with pepperoni.
  
  The pepperoni roll is a snack popular in West Virginia and some
  nearby regions of the Appalachian Mountains. Ubiquitous in West
  Virginia (particularly in convenience stores), but traditionally
  little known elsewhere, it is arguably the food most closely
  associated with the state.
  
  The classic pepperoni roll consists of a fairly soft white yeast
  bread roll with pepperoni baked in the middle. The pepperoni can be
  either in the form of a stick or of several slices folded together.
  During baking, spicy oil from the pepperoni suffuses the bread. Most
  people prefer the rolls to be moist but not soggy; thus, the texture
  of the bread is an important factor in the rolls' quality. A typical
  pepperoni roll weighs about three ounces, and can be eaten as a
  snack or as the main dish of a lunch. Pepperoni rolls can be eaten
  cold, or can be warmed slightly in an oven or microwave.
  
  Some variations on the original pepperoni roll contain cheese and/or
  chile peppers. In 2005, a pizzeria in Chesapeake, Ohio (directly
  across the Ohio River from Huntington, West Virginia) introduced a
  deep-fried pepperoni roll, dubbed the 'pepperoni zinger.'
  
  A popular legend holds that the pepperoni roll was invented in the
  1920s by Giuseppe Argiro, owner of the Country Club Bakery in
  Fairmont. Some historians have disputed this claim. However, it
  seems highly likely that the dish originated among the coal miners
  of north-central West Virginia in the first half of the twentieth
  century. The pepperoni roll bears a resemblance to the pasty and
  sausage roll, which originated in the mining communities of Great
  Britain, as well as to the Italian calzone. All these foods allow a
  miner on a break from a tiring and dirty job to eat a full meal with
  a minimum of fuss. Pepperoni and other Italian foods became popular
  in north-central West Virginia in the early 20th century, when the
  booming mines and railroads attracted many immigrants from Italy.
  
  Although recipes for homemade pepperoni rolls are available, most
  West Virginians buy the rolls in shops. Most commercially available
  pepperoni rolls are made within the state by small, family-owned
  Italian-American bakeries. The rolls can be found in virtually every
  grocery and convenience store in West Virginia. Churches and schools
  in the state sometimes have pepperoni roll sales to raise funds.
  
  Although they have recently become better known in the wider U.S.,
  for a long time pepperoni rolls were seldom, if ever, seen for sale
  outside West Virginia. This led to the development of an urban
  legend among West Virginians stating that the rolls could not be
  sold in other states because of regulations banning the sale of meat
  baked into bread.
