You Texans crack me up. Your love for your state is unbelievable. My ex is a Texan and if I heard him say, "We were a country first" one more time....
Hey, Maryland (my home state) ain't no slouch either. Ya'll Texans might remember that little conflict called the War of 1812. Were it not for the heroic, valiant
efforts of Marylanders during the
Battle of Baltimore, your Tex-Mex might well be bangers and mash. I'm just sayin'.
Battle of Baltimore
Marylanders demonstrated unimaginable unity, courage, and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds when British forces-- the greatest military power in the world-- invaded the Chesapeake region. American forces at Ft. McHenry in Baltimore harbor, withstood a punishing 25-hour attack, and inspired the words to America’s national anthem. (

Ummm...thankfully my fellow Marylanders fared a little better holding off the enemy than those did at the Alamo. Hence, why your food is called Tex-
Mex. No blame. You Texans did the best you could. Next time conflict rears, call some of us Marylanders down and we'll help you whup 'em real good.
