How Texan Are You?

36/36

altho the fried alligator i ate in NO...seems like it would be more appropriate on a list of LA foods anyway.

i grew up in Houston, but my dad was an east Texas country boy and he never outgrew it, i swear he used to 'hunt' along Buffalo Bayou lol...i had rabbit, frog's legs, squirrel, etc. basically if you could kill it and fry it, we had it.

36 of 36, although I do not enjoy oysters.

 

Food/ drink that should also be listed:

chow-chow

kolaches

Lone Star beer

arguably a Chilton, although that is very, very West Texas in nature.

arguably crawfish, although it is very SE Texas in nature.

I like all of these additions.  The overall list is decent but misses some of the more unique texas fare.  Like chili pequins, barbacoa, redfish on the half shell, calf fries and a ranch water to wash it all down.

I think I've had rabbit. Not sure if it was fried, though. 

Strangely enough I'm not sure I've ever had a slice of fried bologna. 

Those would be the only 2. 

I don’t think I’ve ever had those fried either, nor have I had fried zucchini.  I know I’ve eaten all those cooked in other ways (we grilled a lot growing up) but can’t remember if they were ever fried, seems like a dumb list.

Isn't that also known as "Ranch Water?"  I thought that was all the rage these days, according to the in-flight magazines.

Ranch Water is made with tequila, no? Chiltons are usually vodka.  I don't drink either one on the regular, but had chiltons back in the college days.

I thought a Ranch Water was just a tequila and soda with lime. So why would you call a vodka soda anything other than a vodka soda?

Because we fucking said so.

It's also traditionally served margarita style in a cocktail glass with a salted rim.   Look, it's not my drink of choice, so not a big deal.   It is pretty damned uniquely Texas though.

 

Gimme a vodka-tomato...

 

No dumbass, it's a Bloody Mary.

chilton is lemon club soda and vodka. 

Just googled and the first result said vodka, soda and lemon juice. So Slorch could start by getting the ingredients right if he wants to bitch about it.

You are bitching.  I am not.  LOL.  Nor did I incorrectly list the ingredients.
