An online search app’s interactive map shows the most popular food in Arizona is the prickly pear.

The Foursquare map shows the most popular foods in every state. Examples include Chinese chicken salad in California, mini corn dogs in Nebraska, and huckleberry in Montana.

The map includes locations in the state for those popular foods. Arizona has numerous locations that have the prickly pear, including Los Dos Molinos in Phoenix, Valle Luna in Chandler, and the RnR restaurant & bar in Scottsdale.

Arizona has 816 percent more prickly pear than any other state, according to the map.
