Remember when the board in Texas said they did not want to sneak sneak creationism into science classes. Well the Texas Freedom Network has found a sample of the submitted material... and guess what? The board lied.

Should I move this to the politics area, or do you want it left here?
And of course they lied. They're Texans.

DFW and Austin are pretty nice. The rest of the state is an exercise in redneckist liars for Jesus.
I've only been through the airport in DFW, and once when I was really, really small I went to some city that was on the coast. I remember because I cut my foot on a rock, and it smelled like foul ocean water.

I could not help myself. :oops:
*GAG*
That is unfounded, sir!
it's simply that the Redneckist Liars for Jebus are vocal, whereas the decent folk's sense of decorum shoots us in the foot by allowing the idiots to appear to speak for and represent the rest...
on the other hand, you're probably right. :cry:

Balls. They have steakhouses and Texmex crap. I have more than 57 different cuisines to choose from, and not from chain-restaurants.

For certain. We're a veritable Mecca of cuisine, fuck all knows why. But hey, who wants to look a gifthorse in the mouth?

The Trojans, historically speaking.
DFW has shit tons of restaurants.
highest per capita in the nation. And, although we certainly do have a disproportionate amount of that greatest ambrosia known as Texmex, we have every known variety of cuisine easily within rascal scooter range of every citizen.

But yeah, I thought the food in Texas was pretty damned awesome, all told.
But then, I'm a huge fan of that "Tex Mex" crap. :lulz:

Yo. I love cooking Tex-Mex. Sadly, my diet doesn't allow it now.
within Rascal Scooter distance, i know of 3 Arabic Restaurants. (Narah Cafe, Al Hamra restaurant, Beirut Rock Cafe)
and although El Tumi (peruvian Restaurant is a bit over 10 miles away from me right now), there's a latin fusion place down the street that has some peruvian stuff. (i cant remember what it's called.)

??? Why ??? Most Tex-mex is just a take off on mexican which is actually very very healthy.
It's my understanding that the "Tex" part of it holds the majority of the fats. The "Mex" part uses a lot of lard though. Which could be substituted with EVOO, I suppose.
If you had the inclination, you could research traditional Mexican dishes, that use spices and herbs for flavor, rather than salt and fats.
I know of the following types of cuisine, just driving past and around the city:
Arabic
Thai
Greek
Ethiopian (OMG ETHIOPIAN)
Japanese (not including Sushi)
Sushi
Chinese
Korean (House of Korea, I've met the owner. He's like a 70-some fat old Korean dude from Korea, very nice, good with kids)
Portuguese
Spanish
Mexican (REAL mexican food)
French
Pastry
Chicago
Indian
And those are just off the top of my head.

I bake most of what us traditionally fried including empanadas. And you are probably right LMNO, I don't make tex-mex it's pretty standard mexican and guatemalan ghetto food. :sad:
I will share any and all recipes Charley!!
Columbus has a pretty nice variety too... I'm particularly fond of the Vietnamese, Thai and Persian places near my house.

Tex-Mex is an abomination.
Ethiopian, Vietnamese, three types of Chinese, Japanese, two types of Thai, Mexican food galore, Basque, Armenian, Greek, Italian, Arabic, Hmong (never had it, no idea how it's different than other regional cuisines), and there's probably one or two more I'm missing.
Also, lol, food derail.
I like parts of Texas. The Hill Country is pretty and their freeway speed limit out in the desert's 80 mph.
The content is amusing and unsurprising. Did you expect them to be honest? They're Creationists, though and through, and want everyone to be like them. Of course they're gonna lie to get Creationism into the books.
Food is to whackjobs in Texas as art is to the Sunday comics, Hovercat.

Naw. What passes for Tex-Mex in CALIFORNIA is an abomination. Texas food is not so bad. IMHO, but then it's been a few years since I traveled there extensively. And I live with constant spicy food--but I have a hugely widely varied palate. I enjoy food from Missouri as well as New Orleans, as long as it's cooked and prepared well.
...as for the curriculum debate, hell yes, I totally agree. Disingenuity (disingenuousness?) is a given when it comes to Bible thumpers who want to appropriate our damned public school system for their purposes.
Again, I can't wait for this pendulum swing to come BACK towards this way...

The stuff I had was just fine--not any lardier than south of the border stuff. And I've HAD truly south of the border stuff...a lot. The Texan Mex was not unhealthier.
Truly indigenous food ANYWHERE, btw, tends to be less spicy than its restaurant counterparts. Most folks, it seems, rely upon condimentization when it comes to the main dishes. There are a few exceptions (Indian being one, but if you saw how Indians from INDIA eat--they rarely pile it on...it's mostly rice rice and more rice with a small bit of their stews--or kormas--added on to flavor the rice). As always.

Ya, I am at a total loss, maybe it was some kind of fusion restaurant.

Maybe they ran out of limes?
