Gobs are inherently part of the fabric of Pennsylvania’s culinary landscape. They are also part of New England’s food history, but the dessert is known as a Whoopie Pie there.
“Gob” was also used within the mining industry in reference to refuse coal. It is possible that miners gave the dessert its name in the region.In the 1960s, more than 150,000 gobs were sold every month in western Pennsylvania by the Harris-Boyer Bakery. They were often included in the lunches of local school children and men going to the mill.
