One of my favorite things to do when I travel is try out new places. Not only do I research the events and things to do and see, but I also research the restaurant scene. Here in Montana, we have some pretty impressive places to dine. Whether you're looking for a great bar-b-q platter or a delicious steak, you'll find it here in The Treasure State.

Is it the Porkchop sandwich? The pasty? Is it a Bison steak? Elk? Deer? None of those are considered Montana's signature dish. So what is? Before we share with you Montana's "signature" dish, here's a look at some of our favorite Montana restaurants no longer around.

What is Montana's signature dish?

According to The FW, Montana's signature dish isn't a dish at all. It's a fruit. That's right, Montana's signature dish is huckleberries.  Not a huckleberry pie, or a huckleberry cobbler. It's not a huckleberry shake or ice cream, it's just...huckleberries.

Don't get me wrong, I love huckleberries. They're fantastic, but should they be our signature dish for the state?  I mean, if we're going with a fruit, shouldn't we go with something that no one else has? Like Flathead cherries? I mean, huckleberries are the official fruit for Idaho. Or shouldn't they at least be in some sort of dish other than just "huckleberries",
