Parisa
Klobasnek
Sheet cake
BBQ crab
Rice with giblet gravy
Big Red and barbacoa
Puffy tacos
Dewberry cobbler
Mustang grapes
Machacado con huevos
Pickled onions
Dublin Dr Pepper

I must second this list of additions.   Parisa is an intriguing dish.

Yep 36/36. Would add:

Dove

Quail

Prickly Pear Jelly

Rattlesnake

Nopalitos

CHIEF

5 for 5 on those too.  Not a fan of the nopalitos, but yeah, there's a bunch of Tex-Mex stuff that could be on the list.

Dove and quail fries with family and friends are some of my favorite memories.

36/36

plus everything (I think) in all the added lists, although I'm not sure what "King Ranch Casserole" is, and I've never had fried squirrel, that I know of.

 

My addition: Allsup's burrito.

 

As a kid, we used to hunt rabbits and squirrels on my grandfather's farm. Grandma would fry up the rabbit, but she wouldn't touch those "tree rats" with a ten foot ladle.

I don't think that I have ever had dewberry cobbler. 

I would add further three items I haven't seen to the list:

cabrito

carne guisada

carnitas

if your granny called it blackberry, that's just fine. It was probably dewberry.

Meanwhile, if you haven't had cabrito, turn in your Texan card. That's just bullshit right there. No cabrito, you're not a Texan.

I always hear about Allsup's on here. Never seen one of those places in my life.

West Texas thing...

Almost every little town has an Allsups.  I've compared the burritos with the JITB 2/$1 tacos for being a grotesque, yet slamming hard delicacy.

Well god damnit, why didn't y'all just say so.

Wait, does not knowing the difference mean I lose my card?

No, it just means you haven't spent as much time in rural East Texas, where that dewberry nonsense started. It's blackberry to those of us whose German grandparents in the Hill Country knew what the fuck to actually call it.
