COLORADO: Rocky Mountain Oysters
Rocky mountain oysters aren't a type of seafood—they're actually fried bull testicles. Whether or not that sounds appetizing, these are a delicacy in Colorado.

This list is absurd.
Utah = chocolate.
A food that Mormons couldn’t even eat until a few years ago.
Many still don’t.
i live in colorado and have never seen a bull testicle on a menu, though i suppose a few hard core places might serve them as a conversation piece, but does that REALLY make the bull testicle THE “iconic” food in colorado?
however, we locals are very well aware of outstanding seasonal foods like Rocky Ford cantelopes and watermelons, Pueblo chiles, Olathe sweet corn, and Palisade peaches ...
YUM!
Sorry but NJ’s iconic food is a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll.
the first person to eat a crab was a hungry individual...
the first person to eat an oyster was a hungry individual...
the first person to eat a clam started a movement...
All dope smokers
I’m kidding by the way
They’re called calf fries in Texas and are delicious.
Bruce’s Bar out in Severance. They do them up right, there.
Actually I get the cheese steak HOAGIE -
that has sliced tomatoes, onions and shredded lettuce on it in addition to
steak & cheese on an Amoroso’s roll. And YES, it must be an Amoroso’s torpedo roll.
California Fish Tacos? Yuk. I was born and raised in California, been 74 years now and I only heard of Fish Tacos for the first time maybe a decade ago. Tried a bite once, never again. If anything French Dip Sandwiches are more Californian, they were invented at Philippe’s in Los Angeles.
My wife made some this evening for the grandkids with sharp cheddar cheese, Colby-Jack, Jarlsberg, and Parmesan-Romano. I had seconds… and thirds.
Fish tacos can be yummy if prepared properly.
Often, like most things, they are not.
Too each his own.
But yeah, pork roll is way salty. Not good for the bp.
Oh my, I LOVE Vernor’s Ginger ale!! Grew up on it. lolol...We used to buy it in glass bottles though... none of the canned junk!
now, at 83 I think I would like to try that again.
A lot of these dishes sounded really good but the one that I’m going to make a point of trying is the maple cream pie.
I lived in Maryland for twelve years. Crab cakes and Philly cheese steaks were everywhere.
However, the best Philly Cheese Steak I can remember eating was from a food truck at a rural pistol and rifle range in Oregon, during their annual machine-gun shoot.
Alabama - fried green tomatoes? Under the assumption that you can bread and deep-fry most anything and it will be edible, I would have gone with fried okra.
I've never had that problem, leftover tenderloin. It sounds tasty but if I ever eat it, it will be on purpose and involve no leftovers.
