The Texas Hot, .. something I did not know

The ketchup & relish reminds me of one time when we were somewhere out east, I forget just exactly where. We ordered what we thought were going to be chili dogs like we are used to. What we got had relish & some kind of sauce we were not familiar with.  Jerry asked to have mustard for it and the folks didn't know what he meant. We gave up & ate it, but we learned to inquire about the foods we ordered.. 

We did encounter some unusual seasonings & ways to fix foods I considered standard. And heaven forbid I should ask for white gravy without sausage in it for my chicken fried steak in almost every state we went through. Once in Montana I asked the young waitress if the gravy had anything extra added to it or was it just white gravy and she told me it had little black specks in it, but she didn't know what they were. I decided I didn't need any gravy that day. 

It was lots of fun trying new foods we would have never been exposed to here around home.

Ok, let's see if I got this right...
1. they are originally from Buffalo, NY
2. they are made by Greeks


Why the HELL do they even have the word TEXAS in the name?

Greek immigrants came here, took traditional chili, added some of their stuff, tweaked it, and named it Texas hots or locally known as slime dogs.   No one knows, it just is

I don't like mustard, and those look extremely messy!

Lord ..

can I have mine without onions?

Welp, seeing as though I remember you may be moving here it would be like asking if you could have your chicken wings without blue cheese.  Locals will talk 

[Nakia]

Blue Cheese with chicken wings?!! Ya'll sure do eat some strange stuff up yer' way!  :deer:

'Round here the chicken wings usually have some kind of hot BBQ sauce type stuff on 'em. I don't eat chicken wings, if I can't have the better parts of the chicken, i.e. thigh & breast then I don't want none of it!!  :somad:

Plus, I prefer white gravy with my chicken anyway. It just don't taste right lessin' I can dip it in gravy...NO SAUSAGE in the gravy!!!! If'n I wanted my chicken ta' taste like sausage, I'd order sausage, biscuits & eggs (I hate eggs).

Now, I do like my chili dogs to have mustard & onions or it just don't taste right, but leave off the kraut! :cstars:
