Say it isn't so...

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

Republicans. Democrats. Extended warranties. Just about every blessed thing advertised anywhere. Overpaid preachers. I'd go on, but my remaining life is not long enough to detail them all ...

First, "Texas Pete" is a person name, not a geographic identifier. Second, who is envious of Texas. If we were, they wouldn't have to keep telling themselves how special they are.

Someone just wants some go-away money. This is a pretty common kind of lawsuit.

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.

I put beans in my chili...........And I ain't skeered to admit it.

I HOPE. They get counter sued for 4x's as much......Make "em" pay for stupidity.

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!

The oldest working cattle ranch in the US is in New York. Deep Hollow Ranch est. 1658. Larry

Texans are great people. Just not any more special than the rest of us. Sometimes they have to be reminded of it.

As far as the frivolous lawsuit goes it's what we as a Society do. I'm surprised that there aren't any commercials yet.

Big Fan of Louisiana Sauce.
Still made in New Iberia.
Not sure where they get the Tabasco Peppers.
Tabasco Brand, the Big Dog down the road gets their Peps from outside the US.
Chances are the Louisiana Sauce folks also do.
PS Just checked the bottle.
They say Aged Peppers, Vinegar and Salt.
Big Dog Tabasco admits other peppers besides Tabascos, so that's most likely true for Louisiana Sauce.

New York Strip you say? A favorite of mine, for sure.
A Bovine only has a finite amount of Steak which can be subdivided in a number of ways.
Lately, folks have been 'discovering' and inventing new Steaks which ain't really Steaks.
But the NY Stripper does have a legitimate Historic NY Connection.
According to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the steak is marketed in the United States under various names, including Ambassador Steak, Boneless Club Steak, Hotel-Style Steak, Kansas City Steak, Top Loin, Veiny Steak, and New York Steak.
Delmonico's Restaurant, an operation opened in New York City in 1827, offered as one of its signature dishes a cut from the short loin called a Delmonico steak. Due to its association with the city, it is often referred to as a New York strip steak.

I remember reading that the peppers used for making Tabasco sauce now come from Mexico.

Last I heard, McIlhenny still grows some of their Tabasco peppers on Avery Island, which is their base of operations and where they manufacture the original hot sauce. But they also source a lot (maybe most) of their peppers from overseas. One of my brothers who had worked down in Brazil told me about an acquaintance of his down there had family that grew peppers for McIlhenny and visited the US and took a tour of Avery Island where the tour guide showed them the factory where the sauce was made and said that the peppers were locally sourced from the Island itself; they didn't bother to correct the person and ruin the story.

As for Louisiana Hot Sauce and Cajun Chef hot sauce (New Iberia and St. Martinville respectively), I don't know where they source their tabasco peppers from but both are made locally. Both companies make good hot sauces that have less heat than Tabasco Hot Sauce. I do worry about Louisiana Hot Sauce though as Bruce's Foods sold them in 2015 to some company out of Georgia called Summit Hill Foods, so who knows how long they keep the New Iberia pepper plant up and running.

I use the Louisiana sourced hot sauces because they taste good and it supports people in the state I live in.

I support my locals.
After I finish the Local Garcia Green Chile Sauce I use the jar for Fruit jar Margaritas.

It's sacrilegious to put beans in chili and call it Texas-style. Trust me, the only people who think the Cowboys are "Americas Team" is the Cowboy's marketing department. I promise you Houston didn't vote for them.
