University of Texas daughter's '11 recruitment

[ComradesTrue]

I very rarely comment in recruitment story threads, and absolutely never comment (or cheer) based on the lunacity of code names. However, I will say that you have made this displaced Native Texan very nostalgic, as well as very hungry!

My fave items on your list are Blue Bell and Fletchers. Fortunately I can still get Blue Bell where I am now, but no more fresh-out-of-the fryer state fair corn dogs.

I will say that I, too, think no list is complete without the Frito Pie. What would Friday night football be without that "fine delicacy?"

I'm pulling for Fried Okra, Chili and Texas Sheet Cake!!!

And I am from Blue Bell country....

It really has to be Dublin Dr. Pepper which is the oldest DP plant in the world and still uses the 100% pure cane sugar recipe. It's a delicious legend.
