Ok here goes. I was living in Atlanta but traveling back and forth to Houston for business. Christmas was approaching and I must have tamales. Grabbed some frozen ones from my favorite tamale place and put them in my carry on. They were gathered together upright with a string tied around the top and bottom. I watched them go through the X-Ray. Holy poop, they looked exactly like a bundle of dynamite that Wile E Coyote would have had. All they missed was having ACME on the side. The screener didn't ask if it was my bag just called an officer who stood there with his hand on his gun butt and sternly said step away from the bag ma'am. The screener slowly opened the bag as I was backed against the wall, reached in and pulled them out. And yelled very loudly "Tamales". We all burst into laughter and wished a merry Christmas to all.
 
I don't think of those foods when I think of texas. Actually I think of Texas as the BBQ grilling capital of the world. We are in need of a good chrissy story
Yikes, you need another Texas lesson :lau BBQ and grilling do not remotely resemble each other. Thems fightn words. BBQ is low and slow and done in a pit or smoker. 15 to 20 hours to cook a brisket. Grilling is what non Texans do in the back yard to hamburgers.

So no to microwaving them then? 😜
 
Dawg please don't tell people, especially my neighbors, that you microwave meat.
It is extremely embarrassing for me.
Sorry :oops: I don’t actually do it for real though! At least not actually cooking. I thought it was just a funny nickname? But sorry won’t mention it again :oops:
