Texas Pride..

 The other day topic of conversation was Texas Food vs. Southern.
It is a statement about Texas in general. Texas pride aside there are several rules that need to be abided after all we are from the state of Tejas-The Friendly State. First rule of Texas-The first one to a door opens it and holds it open till all have entered and exited. A Texas women will stop and wait for the door to be opened. It is common courtesy for the man to walk closest to the street in mixed company. In deep East Texas Texans drive right handed because the left is always waving at there neighbor. A wise man said Be Gracious and Grateful and your company should  have things the way they like them. You say yes ma'am.,no sir to a 6 year old or a 90 year old No Exceptions!
As far as food wars go it's cream gravy on CFS with the exception in some German communities that use brown gravy. We eat what animal is put in front of us(can't get past possum) but beef is king. All soda is Coke when ordered.The old Germans had a pitcher of sweet and unsweet tea-the sweet runs out first. BBQ is cooked low and slow on large pits ,sopped during the cooking process. But the only true Rule in Texas that can't be altered is THERE ARE NO BEANS IN CHILI!
