easy there. I'm not Texan and never even spent much time there. But texmex is its own thing.
If you look up "queso recipe" it often begins "take a pound of Velveeta."

- staticautomatic 4y agoYeah and I get that, but I just don’t think TexMex is good, and I grew up in a part of the south where people fully believed it was real Mexican food.

The southwest has it's own food traditions which are often similar, but distinct, from contemporary Mexico-Mexican food. Dismissing those traditions as "TexMex", like they were made up by Anglos is both offensive and inaccurate.
