Say it isn't so...

There's a popular welding glove that has "We Weld America" printed on them in large letters. Tag inside reads "Made in China".

Well I was trying to goad you folks into jumping on Texans and their self-consuming fantasies about themselves and their State.

It's sacrilegious to put beans in one's chili but okay to call the Dallas Cowboys America's team. I know I didn't vote for them.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I eaten Tex-Mex by the ton.
But the food here in NM is much better.
My Buddy Andy - from Minnesota was on TDY from San Antonio to Albuquerque.
With him was a Texican Hispanic Dude, both worked at the Kelly AFB Depot.
So they go to a local restaurant and look at the menu.
The Texican Dude asks the Waitress Who Many Burritos on the Burrito Plate?
One
That don't sound like enough.
She say - it's enough for most folks.
And we serve a lot of Burrito Plates.
I want 2!
Yes Sir.
When his two enormous Burrito Plates arrive, he announced,
I can't eat all of this!
Burritos in Texas tend to be small.
Burritos in NM tend to be large.
You got to know the territory!

Texas Roadhouse is based in Ohio

Glad it wasn't based in some other states or I would have to quit enjoying their Road Kill.

I would like to see the maker get handed 250k by the judge plus any court cost and tell the other side.......

"Nice try".

Maybe some of these "People" would think a little more about getting some "Quick" $$.

Yet Coors gets away calling their canned and bottled fizzy water "beer."

You drink Coors ?? !!

Give that man a "Blue Ribbon" .

 

[Muss Muggins]

I just think of the waste of tax dollars and the clogging of the court system . . .

 

[GaryS]

I'll let you puzzle out if I drink Coors.

You just can't trust the names on food…

Didn't anyone ever notice that "Grey Poupon" mustard isn't grey..?

Somewhat on topic with the above: Seagulls are known as Mustard Birds by some of us . . . .

. . . . because they're Gray Poop-ons.

Regular Texas Pete hot sauce is just another dull alleged "hot sauce". Their enhanced version is much better and actually has some fire and flavor to it.

There was a local chain of Mexican Restaurants in Columbus, Ohio that claimed to have "Brownsville, Texas" style Mexican food. I've spent some time in Brownsville way before South Padre Island became a Spring break hot spot! I've also eaten in this chain's many locations about 200 times, before they put up the sign.

I wanted to know what it was that differentiated their style from regular Mexican. They told me it was less spicy than south of the boarder. Theirs was less spicy, but I found in Brownsville the food was spicier than across the border! I ate in H. Matamoros often, the quality was better, the price was less, and I never got heartburn!

So I ask the managers of 3 locations if they had ever been to Brownsville? Not one, nor had the founder! He saw it on the map and thought it sounded good.

Yet Coors gets away calling their canned and bottled fizzy water "beer."

Coors Banquet is the nectar of the gods, and the brewery short tour started many a night as a broke 23 year old.

On a somewhat serious note, a friend of mine has been a coors employee for some time. Working on the line kinda guy. They pay him well, and when he got an off the clock injury, despite having no obligation to do so, they've kept him on doing whatever he could over years of surgeries and pain. I do truly find Coors Banquet to be the best of the macro brews, but even if I didn't they earned my respect and business by treating their people right.

Also! North Carolina makes better sauces and BBQ in general than Texas!

 

[Rustyt1953]

We are a house divided. Logan worships at the altar of Frank's and I genuflect before Huy Fong rooster sauce.

PS: one of the most memorable bbq sauces I ever had was from Stamey's BBQ in Greensboro, NC.

Ya just never know.

...Makes one wonder what else isn't what it's said to be.

My weekend toy is a 2018 BMW M2, built in Leipzig, Germany.

The new 2024 M2 -- the German driving machine, remember -- will be built in

Mexico...

2023 BMW M2 Teased, Will Be Made In Mexico

How do we get get certification that the New York Strip Steak came from a cow in New York? I didn't think they had that many cattle ranches in New York!

 

[beach elvis]

On the other side of the coin…
I was in Ohio and had a piece of New York cheesecake.

I, too, was dubious about its actual origin, UNTIL…

…it took my wallet at knifepoint, got let out with no bail, and then got taxed 30% for the income.

I'm glad and thankful the Texas hot sauce is at least made in the USA! Could be worse!!
