but while I was there over last summer I really missed a good cup of coffee with actual creamer in it



What? You missed having fake cream in your coffee? I guess the real stuff wasn't good enough for you:D
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Actually Black Pud was mentioned by Homer ( the Greek, not Simpson:P) - so you cann't blame us for that.

Pie, is a generic term so which ones are you complaining about? - Surely not Granny's Apple Pie?

Too take this to it's final trivial conclusion, TEX-MEX reeeally only occurs in San Antonio, preferably inside the Loop;)

hence the name?!



Exactly! Dont even try to get good TexMex or Mexican food up north.My friends took me to a "TexMex"restaurant in NY and it was all I could do to choke it down out of politeness.Not fit to eat at all.But if you've never had the real thing I guess you dont know any better and would think its good.

The same thing happened to my husband while visiting friends in Michigan.They took him to a "real authentic" Texas steak house.What a laugh.All the waiters were dressed in these ugly fake cowboy hats and bolo string ties with red plaid (tablecloth looking) shirts.While all the waitresses had on 'daisy duke' cutoff bluejeans shorts and the same ugly shirts,wearing their hair in pigtails.The whole staff had to fake this reall BAD southern accent thats nothing close to a TX accent.He said it sounded like a "who shot JR" moment.He was just waiting to find someone with a cadillac with longhorns on the grill out front.Ofcourse the worst of it was that they couldnt even cook a proper steak.He sent his back twice and the cook got pissed and came out to talk to him b/c "they were running an authentic TX steakhouse" and my hubby finally told him they were all full of shit b/c he was a native Texan and none of this was 'authentic' including their bad bootleather that they called a steak and that,as a Texan, he was offended by the whole thing b/c people were coming in here and getting a complete lie about what 'authentic' Texas was like.Anyway, his whole party's meal was comp'ed and they left.

My opinion..I dont even try to get a good steak or good Mex. or TexMex outside of Texas,period.

how about "new york" pizza outside of brooklyn, the bronx, manhatten, queens, or long island (and I guess staten island, though I've never tried the pizza there..) pizza is horrible unless you get it in ny. and it can't be upstate new york, which might as well be a different state altogether. :D

TexMex or Mex I can agree with having never had either in Texas, but when you say a good steak thats just a load of Bull.

I've had steak in many countries including yours an I'd have to give the prize to Argentina and Scotland.
I can understand Texian pride but that was a far to sweeping statement

Gone fishing

Our local supermarket (Chicago area) sells several British brands. If you make your own it's OK. I never drink tea in a US restaurant, though, just like I never drink coffee in a British one.

Best steak has to be in Gauchos in Eindhoven Netherlands.

Best Ice cream without a doubt is Italian Icecream.
