Texans don't eat those things? There are so many misconceptions about Texas and Texans . . . .
I don't recall ever having eaten nopalitas, but I'm sure that I would like them if they're Mexican.
My first taste of real Mexican food was in Texas--the first time that I was in Texas, probably 1981, but maybe 1982. Was in the Houston area visiting friends. One of the friends took me to a real Mexican restaurant. Prior to that, all that I knew was just Americanized (and I didn't realize it) stuff. The real Mexican was very different from anything that I had tasted before. I really liked it. Can't say that I've had any real Mexican food since, unfortunately.
