    Living in Colorado, pretty sure no one actually eats Rocky Mountain Oysters, it’s basically just a joke.

    And no mention of sloppers, the actually good Colorado-originating meal?

          As someone from southern Colorado, the green chile slopper is the greatest food item ever created. I’ll occasionally try describing how good it is to people not from the area, and this article (in which a self-described skeptic tries it and falls in love) is a handy reference.

          Edit to include my favorite quote:

          We took our first bite and… holy shit. It was a revelation. I’m not being hyperbolic. It is literally one of the best things I’ve ever put in my face. A slopper is happy food. It’s heartwarming food.

            Thank you for that. I love me a good slopper. Hard to find sometimes even as close to Pueblo as Colorado Springs, but man are they a relatively simple, perfect food.
