Colorado: Rocky Mountain Oysters
Colorado is a rather strange place to find oysters when you think about it. So it makes sense that the Rocky Mountain oysters have nearly almost nothing to do with the famous seafood they’re named after. The “prairie oysters” are actually famous for their main ingredient – bull testicles. Rocky Mountain oysters are normally breaded and deep-fried, served with a side of fries. They might sound off-putting, but the appetizer originated from Western ranches and is now a delicacy in Colorado.

Connecticut: Hot Lobster Rolls
It’s no secret that the lobster roll is a popular dish in New England, but the way it’s made varies between states. The Connecticut-style roll involves a split-top hot dog bun, hot chunks of lobster meat, and a side of warm butter. That’s pretty much all you need. Sweet lobster mixed with the rich butter and savory bun – it’s heavenly. The result is the perfect dish to enjoy while spending time in Connecticut.
