Try the salsa verde, if you like Mexican food you'll be impressed.

They are relatives of the gooseberry.

I have some in the fridge.....going to make sauce for enchiladas today!

Now, I can make some wonderful enchiladas. I've been making those all my life. Just ask my family. I want to go to a chili cook off someday. Oh, I can taste it now.

LOL!!! Well, there are plenty of them out here, notably in Terlingua!

My sauce is now frozen (keeps for a year)....ready to take home to make enchiladas at some point during the holidays!

Really from Dallas. Born at Baylor Hospital. Grew up here. Not too bad. Hate the suburbs and what has happened to a once-decent city.

You are 67% REAL Texan!!


You're mostly texan. You know your Mexican food, state heritage and are probably slightly politically aware. You can probably pronounce Kukendall, Manchaca and Boerne correctly. Go you.

Makes since.. I am in El Paso TX after all.

You're way more Texan than average. You're parents were probably from here too. We're glad to have you. You probably go to the border for Christmas shopping and are well versed in BBQ, Mexican Food and .. well thats pretty much it.

Well, i'm 74% and I haven't even gottent there yet! I guess within a couple of year I might make it to 100% Texan? I doubt it, you really have to be born there to be 100%. Thanks for that quiz, that was fun.

Smile Texan Wannabe

Hey, I scored 87% too, and I've only visited three times!
My eleven-year-old son scored 67%! (His name is Austin!
My burning question is, "Was the definition of Texit a grassy detour off the highway during slow traffic?"
If it isn't, it should be!
Somebody PM me please, I've got to know!

I tested 61% real Texan. Then again, I did live in Ft. Worth for 4 years.
