Missourians are as unique as snowflakes. No two are the same. That’s what makes Missouri such an amazing place to live. For all of our individual uniqueness, we all share a few commonalities. Like Missouri. Even though we love our home state, we have some complaints, and we’re not afraid to voice them. However, if an outsider dares to insult our beloved state, we’ll say something. What are some other hills every Missourian is willing to die on? Here are just a few. See what you’d add to the list.
- Missouri is home to the best barbecue anywhere.
Flickr/Hungry Dudes Never try to tell us that you’ve tasted better barbecue outside of Missouri. It simply isn’t true. We know a whole lot about barbecue and what makes it oh-so-delicious. Burnt ends, anyone?
- Fried ravioli is the best kind of ravioli.
Flickr/Joel Kramer We eat really well in Missouri, which isn’t surprising since we live in a bona fide foodie state. Sure, traditional ravioli is delicious, but let’s put it all out there. Fried ravioli is the best kind of ravioli, and you won’t find a more scrumptious way to start a meal. The best way to end a meal? Gooey butter cake, of course.
- St. Louis-style pizza is the best.
Wikipedia/Ch473 Sure, all kinds of pizza is delicious. However, when you want the best, you order a classic St. Louis-style pie.
- Missouri’s wine country is second to none.
Google/Hermann Wine Trail Missouri is paradise for wine lovers. After all, it is home to the Hermann Wine Trail, a glorious 20-mile stretch with seven wineries. You won’t find a better day trip destination or a weekend getaway, if you want to sample some of the area’s best wine.
- Summer is for floating.
Facebook/Ozark Outdoors Resort Everyone floats during the summer. It is the ultimate way to relax and to soak up Missouri’s natural beauty.
- Finicky weather doesn’t stress us.

- Royals versus Cardinals – it’s one or the other
Flickr/jpowers65 We may all be Missourians, but there’s one thing that’s certainly true. We either root for the Royals or the Cardinals…and we’re fiercely loyal to our sports teams.
