This Is The Most Famous Food In California

Every state has some unique and beloved dish that they enjoy. That's why Mashed set out to compile a list of the most famous food in every state. "It's about more than food: It's a shared identity, a source of pride, and sometimes, it even gives you a glimpse into an area's history," writes the website. But they also gave a disclaimer:

"We put together a list of some of the dishes and ingredients that each state is most famous for, and sometimes, it was tough picking just one of a slew of delicious creations. Here's what made the final cut."

According to Mashed, California's most famous food is... fortune cookies! Here's what the website had to say about their pick:

"Hear us out! This famous food staple of American-Chinese cuisine doesn't hail from the Far East at all. It comes from California, where it was invented much more recently than you might think. California.com says there's still a ton of disagreement on just who decided to add these tasty little cookies onto the end of a meal, but what we do know is that they spread across the country from California. Who would have thought?"

They also gave honorable mentions to avocado toast and fish tacos.
