Ok, You got me, I'm from Texas! We invented chilli. Ya'll invented Yorkshire pudding, which I like and meat and ale pies, which I want to try. Do most of Y'all make yours from scrach, or use a pre-packaged mix. If you do, and can get it try, wick fowler's 2 alarm chili, it's about as good as I can make. When I come, if I can't get it there, I'm bringing some. We'll get together and have some. FWIW, I live within 5 miles of Mexico, and have lots of Tex-Mex, recipies. capt david
