I sooooo love Frito Pie!! You forgot to sprinkle cheese across the top, though! </font>
And the finely chopped onions

Where in TX did you go to elementary school?
Ft. Worth.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> In my partying heyday in Texas, friends and I used to go to 7-eleven on our way home, while we VERY drunk and make Frito Pie directly in the bag using the hot-dog fixin's!
(That was, of course, when we couldn't make it to Whataburger, the true drunk Texas boy's friend!!)
Whataburger paled in comparison to the old Merry Go Round drive in on Berry St.
But Frito Pie seemed an absolute gourmet delicacy compared to one of the items that used to appear on the public school lunches in the little west Texas down I lived in for a couple of years in the '80's: hotdog tacos. A boiled hotdog in a taco shell.
But on to better things (couldn't be hard to do): tonight's supper was a delicious rendition of Clay Pot Prawn at the Janya Thai restaurant in Clayton. Another very good restaurant comes to the nether reaches of the East Bay.
