...well, what would Aggies know about good food?
What are piquinto beans?
And that tells us your major wasn't agriculture, Spanish, or food history, eh?
They are a heirloom bean still grown on the central coast of California brought by the Spanish colonists in the early settlement period. They are small, pink, and full of flavor. And yes, they are served as they would have been on the California rancheros.
...which I guess makes them ranch-style with a Spanish accent....that didn't have to be poured out of an [unspeakable] can.
NOT SALSA and never sourdough bread !!
Yes, having tasted Texas salsa, I can understand why... In my experience, Texans seem to equate hot with good salsa, missing that heat without the depth of flavor and nuance of taste is just battery acid.
And I suppose all the REAL cowboys have run off with any sourdough starter worth eating...leaving you Aggies to eat supermarket-bought white bread.
