They were culled from some 2,000 sent in by Texans born, Texans bred, Texans by proximity, Texans by adoption, and Texans by osmosis and capillary attraction. The testing was done in the Home Economics Department of the Texas State College for Women. It took three entire semesters to screen the recipes for preparation, flavor, texture, appearance and, in some cases, storage characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso, beyond the purely kitchen, or practical, phase, they were considered in the light of origin, section of the country and the stories that accompanied them. In short, these are the best, most interesting dishes and beverages served by prominent Texans at home, at parties, wherever good food and good cheer combine to embellish life in that fabulous State of Weil-Being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides serving as your guide to cooking with a Texas touch, A Taste of Texas cookbook makes downright good reading. Many of the contributors had things to say as pungent as anything included in their dishes. An index of contributors appears at the end of the book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the recipes (and the places from which they come) you'll find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBowl of Red (Sherman) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChili Con Carne (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevils on Horseback (Memphis) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCream Cheese Salad Dressing (Longview) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHush Puppies (Port Arthur) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlueberry Muffins (Amarillo) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnion Cheese Pie (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e$100.00 Chocolate Cake (Fort Worth) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken Pilau (Denton) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZetoni (Kaufman) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarbecued Red Snapper, Whitefish or Bass (San Antonio) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHong Kong Fried Trout (Brownsville) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMama Lee's Old-Fashioned Sugar \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCookies (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken and Red Wine (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePigeon Pie (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGum-Drop Cookies (Austin) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChili Frito Pie (Hutchins) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Potatoes with Wine Sauce (Meridian) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrabapple Spice Sauce (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrimp-and-Vegetable Aspic (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParis (Texas, of course) Onion Soup \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurried Shrimp (San Antonio) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePecan Whisky Cake (Houston) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroiled Steak with Roquefort Sauce (Houston) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexas Border Casserole (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMincemeat Mother-in-Law (Dallas) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLone Star Apple Pie (Electra) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherries Jubilee (San Angelo) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorsetiere's Despair (Rising Star) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition.
