Hello All!

You guys always give such great ideas, and I'm in need of one. For a series of menus I'm doing I need a great buffet menu of Texan specialties. I'm also attempting to finish up one called "The Heartland" so any and all ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks much!

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Dessert can be pecan pie as well as Texas Brownies.

There is quite a range of specialities depending on which part of the state you find yourself. Brisket and ribs, chicken fried steak, all sorts of Tex-Mex enchiladas, tacos, and fajitas are all good starting points. Down here near the coast, shrimp, crawfish, Gulf oysters, blue crabs, and red snapper are favorites among seafood. Doves, quail, venison sausages and venison chili are staples for the gun crowd. Sides include all sorts of rice-based dishes, yellow squash casserole, guacamole, chili con queso, the entire gamut of cajun-based cuisine, particularly now that we have half of New Orleans over here, fried okra, corn bread, grits, and smothered greens make the list. Pecan desserts and fresh peach pies are among my favorites as well. For purposes of a buffet, you might want to concentrate on a particular area (Tex-Mex or seafood or wild game or barbecue and their appropriate companion dishes would be quite effective. Good luck.
