Sis lives in Austin....and the Central Market there has fresh Hatch chiles in open bins, labeled mild/medium/hot, where you can pick out your own pods and have them roasted as well.

Whether they do the same in Dallas, I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet that they do.

Is it the exception or the norm for Texans and New Mexicans to feel a rivalry toward each other?

I've only heard the New Mexico side of the story so I am interested in hearing the Texas side of the story.

I like both states and this is not meant as an insult to either state.
Very interesting thread topic!

Personally, I never thought of Texas and New Mexico as having a "rivalry" per se. Perhaps -- as some other posters have alluded to -- it is traceable to that there is no major college football rivalries existing (as in the case of Oklahoma and Arkansas! LOL).

Seriously, last time I was in New Mexico, some of the natives referred to Texans as "flat-landers". But in just a jocular way not at all suggestive of any truly inter-state animosities.

With all that said though, here is a contemplative editorial I ran accross today which may cast it all in a different light! LOL:

Texas, New Mexico towns still duel over Billy the Kid

LOL!! I suppose that Bill Richardson is so lame-duck at this point that he's entertaining the idea of pardoning a long-dead little thug of a cattle thief!

I was flabbergasted that a town in Texas even cared....they must be really desperate, to say the least!

I hear so much about him in next-door Lincoln county that I just want to barf.....I will be glad when Richardson is gone (term limits) and the issue DIES....!

Excluding Southeast NM, most New Mexicans have a relatively poor opinion of Texans. There are a few reasons for this. Many Texans think they "own" NM due to some arbitrary claim that they owned everything east of the Rio Grande, which is complete hogwash. In fact Texans have invaded NM twice and failed both times--during the Civil War and before the Mexican American War. Frankly Texas should probably end at the Pecos River if your familiar with the history and geography of the region..

You resurrect this thread with that? What's hogwash is thinking Texans even think about this. It is so below the radar when we have another border that concerns us so much more.

Strong bump.

I never saw New Mexico as a rival. Very interesting to see people think that way.

California is probably our biggest rival.

My grandfather is from the Land of Enchantment and I have family still there. I think New Mexico is a good state but I don't like it too much personally.It has some pretty parts that's for sure but Id rather vacation in Arizona and California as opposed to NM.Im a native Texan.

It's one of those one way rivalries - kind of like how TAMU always thought of UT as their rival but UT thought of OU as its rival.

The only rivalry I have heard of is fighting with El Paso over water rights.
