http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex-Mex_cuisine
"In the mission era, Spanish and native American foods were combined in Texas as in other parts of New Spain. The Spanish influence on cuisine in Texas began with the arrival of Juan de Onate with six hundred colonists and seven thousand head of livestock in El Paso on April 20 1598. The cuisine that would come to be called Tex-Mex actually originated with the Tejano people as a hybrid of Spanish and native American cooking. The Tejanos didn't immigrate to Texas from Mexico, rather they were native Americans who were educated in Spanish missions in San Antonio and elsewhere in Texas. Native American contributions to Tex-Mex include pecans, pinto beans, nopales, wild onions, mesquite flour, and agarita berries.
Canary Islanders made important contributions to early Tex-Mex as well. Families of colonists who immigrated to San Antonio from the Canary Islands at the invitation of the Spanish crown in 1731 are credited with bringing a Berber influence to Texas food. Their taste for profuse amounts of cumin, chiles and coriander (cilantro) contributed to the Tex-Mex flavor signature, which differs significantly from that of interior Mexican food. A New World version of the highly spiced Morrocan meat stew called tangia made by Canary Island women in outdoor cooking pots in San Antonio may have been an early forerunner of chili con carne, a classic Tex-Mex dish.

Ah, glad you got the message. Thanks again. I'm really excited about this. I've been telling my wife about those damn sandwiches for the last 7 years.
Off the topic of soup for a minute. Ever tried Mee Krob?

"Mee krob (Thai: หมี่กรอบ😉 is a Thai dish; the name literally means "crispy noodles". It is made with rice noodles and a sauce that is predominantly sweet but can be balanced with an acidic flavor, usually lemon or lime.

Originally posted by zeeblebotYeah, it's kind of like thin crispy noodles with pork, shrimp, garlic, onions and a light, spicy, sweet and sour sauce. I'm actually typing up the recipe for one of my private clan forums. I'll PM it to you when it's ready.

My 8-year old son has requested this as his "birthday dinner" for 3 years in a row now. It's that good!
Originally posted by zeeblebotMade a batch this morning in my handy-dandy magic bullet blender (as seen on TV). Had it on a grilled chicken sandwich for lunch. Delicious! I might do a couple of things slightly different next time. Might substitute white wine vinegar for the red wine vinegar, just beacuse I like it better.
never tried pebre but it looks interesting.
