Counting the ballots…
Montana's ballot is mostly hunted, foraged, or picked. Bison Steak and Elk Stew come out of the fall freezer, and Rocky Mountain Trout comes out of the creek. Wild berries carry Huckleberry Pie, Flathead Cherry Pie from the lake orchards, and Chokecherry Pancakes. Camas Root is pit-roasted, a traditional Indigenous food, and Indian Tacos are powwow standard. Butte's mining camps left two things behind: the Pasty and the Butte Pork Chop Sandwich. What Montana is famous for comes home in a truck or a berry bucket. So what is Montana's official state dish? Ten dishes, one vote.
