While in Nebraska we were told, “You HAVE to get a Runza!”
We had no idea what a Runza was so we looked it up. It is a statewide sandwich chain (there are some in Kansas and Iowa now, too).
The bread is a soft yeast roll and the filling is almost stuffed into the roll like a Hot Pocket. The filling is made of ground beef, cabbage and onions. You can also add cheese and other items to your Runza. The sandwiches are said to be of German origin.
We cut our Runza in half to get a better look at the filling before we tried it.
We also ordered some fries and onion rings and they were tasty, too:

The flavors I saw were Oatmeal Cream Pie, Nutty Bar (also known as Nutty Buddy), Swiss Roll, Honey Buns, Zebra Cakes and Strawberry Shortcake Rolls:
