Also, Opa's sausage is amazing! Many different flavors/varieties. Also vacuum packed, should travel well on a flight.

Just tell them your a Texan lol

About as Texan as you get

Spot on, Corona! Your sister is brilliant.

I've been picking this brand of cheese/jalapeno sausage up for years (grabbing approx. 10-12 packs and putting them on ice for the trip home when I make a Dallas-Austin and back run....usually pit stopping @ The Czech Stop in West on I-35, north of Waco).

Grilled or slow-smoked (with Pecan Wood, my fave) in tandem with chicken or salmon, this sausage goes quickly whether you're serving to family or a large group. It is simply The Best, hands down.

Ze...dry ice pack several sealed bags of these when you go back to wherever and you'll be a hit, I promise.

Beef jerky from richardson in salado, tx. Many kinds

Love and War's Terlingua Ten Pepper Buffalo Chili is pretty good. Buy some, freeze it, take it with you.

Some sort of beef jerky (from Buc-EE's maybe?) or pecan pie?

When I think Pralines, I think Nola... not Texas... then again, I have never HAD a TX Praline... Originally Posted by ~Ze~

Very different. New Orleans leans pralines are crumbly to slightly sticky. These are toffee-sticky, caramel like with a slight burned sugar flavor. Delicious.

I keep making visits down to Texas, but I never have anything good to bring back with me for my PNW friends.

Are there any snacks/foods that I can bring back? I mean, Dr Pepper is kinda a Texas thang.. but it doesn't really scream local flavor...

Also, bbq doesn't really travel well. Originally Posted by ~Ze~

Anything from bucees. Especially the nuggets. Or czech stop. Their prepackaged meat.

Torchys Diablo sauce

Mi cocina sells their salsa in jars now. Texmex salsa is the best!
