Could This Famous Montana Food Be Better? Yes

This restaurant franchise would be something unique and new to Montana.

Unique Foods in Montana

Montana is known for some unique foods.

Most locals know there are certain foods Montana is known for creating or growing.

Red Spring Wheat and huckleberries are the two most common foods Montana is known for.

Huckleberries only grow at high elevations, and red spring wheat is in many gluten products across America.

Outside of those two foods, Montana is known for being home to a couple of other items.

One is the legendary pork chop sandwich.

The other is a pasty.

What is a Pasty?

Pasty was a familiar food many miners used for lunch.

The pasty is a hearty pastry filled with meat, onions, and sauce. Some folks will add other ingredients, but it's simple and delicious.

You can still find pasties in grocery stores made from Wind's Pasties in Anaconda.

Are they huge? No. They are a solid snack.

Could they be better?

We might have found a way.

Cornish Pasty Co.

In the sunny state of Arizona is a food franchise called the Cornish Pasty Co.

The restaurant is owned and operated by Dean from Cornwall, England.

His pasties have a flaky crust and delicious ingredients.

What sets his pasties apart? One pound of filling.

These pasties are a full meal and will put you in a food coma after eating.

There are classes like the Bangers and Mash, but they have a menu of Vegan/Vegetarian pasties to enjoy.

Cornish Pasty Co. is only in Arizona and Las Vegas, but this restaurant would do well in Montana.

With our history of mining culture and most locals knowing what a pasty is, this restaurant has the potential to do well.

I have been to the Cornish Pasty Co., and I feel Montanans would love this place.
