What’s The Weirdest Food Found In Montana?

They say real estate is all about location. I think the same can be said about food.

Where you're from determines the different foods you eat. I grew up in the South, and we would eat things that you might have a hard time finding here in Montana. While things like biscuits and gravy are universal, other staples like fried catfish and hush puppies aren't as easy to find.

A social media site decided to travel the country and pick the "weirdest food" from each state. Taking a look at the map, I have to admit, some things on here are a bit different, but when it comes to Montana, our "weirdest food" isn't weird at all, and it's delicious.

What's Montana's weirdest food?

According to the social media site CHCTravels, the weirdest food you can find in Montana is the very popular dish pasties. Pasties are not only delicious, but they're also practical. They gained fame during the mining boom in Butte as something easy to eat.

There is some debate over their origin, but one thing is for sure: they're a Montana favorite.

I mean, what's not to love? Meat? Check. Potato? Check. Pasty Crust? Check. To me, it's like a hand-held pot pie, and I, for one, love them. Here in Montana, there are a handful of places where you can get the real deal, and like anything else, pasty lovers all claim that their favorite spot is the best.

So, no, Montana's "weirdest food" isn't weird at all. At least not to those of us who call Montana home. Plus, anything is better than what our neighbors over in North Dakota picked. Lutefisk: Not only is that weird, it's disgusting.
