Not sure where the supposed insult is. If one was read, there was none intended.

Since you're not familiar with Texas folklore, using the word Texas as a qualifier is part of being Texas. "Everything is bigger in Texas" is a common phrase. In golf, there's "Texas rules". In Texas BBQ, it's understood that if there's a fire in the box, there's a beer in the hand.

I wouldn't know. Like I said: never been there. Not American, never lived in America. (Current location: Douglas, Isle of Man, 4370 miles away.) I specifically said that I was talking of the original Czech foods, and you responded "you clearly missed..."

No, I didn't miss. I didn't look. I wasn't talking about that so there is no reason I'd look. I didn't want results about local derived foods as I was specifically talking about the originals, so your "correction" is wrong and your assertion that I missed them is just plain rude.
