If You Grew Up In Vermont, You Definitely Love These 12 Classic Dishes

While the farm to table movement has always been strong, there are some tried and true classic Vermont foods. We've loved these dishes since we were kids, and luckily they are as good now as they were back then. Let's take a look at a few things that we absolutely love in Vermont.

1. Maple Sugar on Snow

A true springtime delight! But the question is... How do you finish it?

Do you follow it with a donut or a pickle?

2. Mac & Cheese

With all the delicious cheeses throughout the Green Mountain State, Mac & Cheese is still one of our favorite dishes. It's oozy, gooey and oh-so-good!

3. Maple Baked Beans

Boston may be known as "Beantown," but when you add in some VT maple syrup it becomes a dish we have been digging into for years.

4. Gravy Fries and/or Poutine

While poutine may have become seemingly mainstream in recent years, Vermonters have been enjoying gravy fries (with and without the cheese curd) for many, many years.

5. Corn Fritters

Whether you like them with honey, sour cream, pesto or cheese, these little treats are a summer delight.

6. Venison

While this may not be an everyday dish, venison is popular here, especially during hunting season.

7. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Nothing says summer has begun like a freshly baked strawberry rhubarb pie!

8. Apple Pie - Cheddar optional, but recommended!

There can never be enough pie, so Apple pie had to make an appearance here, too. Best made with freshly picked apples from your local orchard and some VT cheddar cheese.

9. Grilled Cheese

We're not talking about your ordinary sandwich, folks. Add in bacon, tomatoes, veggies, apples and naturally, a few types of your favorite local cheeses to make this go-to sandwich absolutely irresistible.

10. Creemees

In other states, if you order a creemee you may be asked "A creamy what?" But we all know that this treat is awesome any time of the year. There simply isn't a more famous food in Vermont than the beloved creemee

11. Fiddleheads

They're almost too pretty to eat, but fiddleheads are so delicious they even have a local festival devoted to them!

12. Cider Donuts

It's one of the most popular foods in Vermont. There is nothing quite like biting into a warm cider donut. Yum!

These classic Vermont foods will always be our favorites, but if you're looking for restaurants to impress your out of town guests, we have plenty of those, too!
