The Can’t-Miss Food In Colorado: The Daily Meal

From a coastal seafood delicacy to a hearty Midwestern sandwich, each state, including Colorado, has that one iconic food every local loves and every visitor should try.

The Daily Meal recently compiled its list of the one can’t-miss food in each state. To determine which delicacy made the cut, staff at The Daily Meal looked through local and regional publications, focusing on discussions of food and restaurant recommendations. It also combed through restaurant reviews to narrow down contenders according to deliciousness, availability outside the state and how beloved the food is by locals.

In Colorado, Rocky Mountain "oysters" are an option that’s just not as good in other states — if you can even find it in other states, according to The Daily Meal. Why? Well, we hate to break the news, but they aren't oysters —they're deep-fried testicles of bulls, bison, pigs or sheep.

Do you agree with The Daily Meal’s choice? What do you think is the most iconic food in Colorado? Sound off in the comments.

The Daily Meal also includes the most well-known restaurant to try Rocky Mountain oysters — Denver's famous (or infamous, if you're vegetarian) Buckhorn Exchange.
