5 Things We Know On A Sunday

With mid-October looming this week, it’s high time we establish some Fall Food Truths around Raiderland. These are not merely suggestions, but hard and fast rules one must embrace and live by. Or not. . .

1. Proper Texas Chili has no beans. I’m not anti-bean but it should not be in your chili. A good rule of thumb is the Hot Dog Test. If you can’t make a great chili dog out of the chili, it’s substandard. You’d never put beans on a chili cheese dog. Love beans, but the chili does not need them.
2. Pozole is better than taco soup and it’s not even close. If you find yourself over the next few Fall/Winter months where they have pozole on the menu; order it. Pozole is everything taco soup wishes it were. Also, if forced to eat taco soup, corn is an unwanted guest. Do you have corn in your tacos? Nope. If you know of any places around West Texas with excellent pozole, post away in the comments.
3. Better use of potatoes, in order. Tater Tots. Hash Browns. French Fries. If you’re getting sides for either breakfast or otherwise that’s the order. Cheesy Hash Brown Potato Soup is another excellent use of the potato.
4. There are however, places the potato does not belong and that’s in your breakfast taco. It’s not adding anything, takes up valuable space that better be used for chorizo, eggs, peppers and cheese. Lots of cheese. Green sauce if available. Find you someone who will make your the right breakfast taco, support them this Fall and tip them very well at Christmas. The decline of the breakfast taco is real. Same with “Burrito and Tamale Ladies”. Protect them.
5. Finally, if your local high school football team’s concession stand does not offer Frito Pie, it is a massive failure on the part of everyone involved. If they do offer Frito Pie it should be served in a bag. You need to be able to add your own onions, tomatoes, cheese and any other toppings you enjoy. If there is no Frito Pie, no matter how good your local football team is, it is a substandard fan experience and must be addressed at your next school board meeting.

These are The Food Truths of Fall. They must be respected! 🙂
