Here, in Florida I guess I'd say I am not wild about grouper for a white fish due to the texture. It's not bad, but it's not like my beloved cold water New England seafood. Another is conch. Too chewy but I will eat it in conch fritters with Bahamian sauce.

I am not crazy about New England boiled dinners that we had at home in Boston on St. Paddy's day. But I'll eat it.

No one, I repeat NO ONE has seafood like New England! Sorry, they just don't.

I work and live in Louisiana. I had no idea how proud of their state some of these people were until I moved here. There was one young guy in particular that sticks out. He came to train in our control tower a couple of years ago. You could barely carry a conversation in the room without him somehow relating the topic of conversation to Louisiana and how great it is. "The swamps are prettier than mountains. The Crawfish are tastier than lobster. New Orleans is the best city in the world." Shit like that. He would spout this kind of stuff non stop. It grew to be very irritating, very quickly.

His last month here, a group of us were having a conversation in the tower about soda. I mentioned cream soda, and he immediately lit up. "Hey Tim, you want to try a great cream soda? You've got to try Big Shot Cream Soda. Straight out of New Orleans. Best cream soda in the world!" Well, I had finally had enough. After months of hearing this kids bias drivel, I finally blew up. I looked at him and loudly said, "Shut the **** up, dude. I'm tired of hearing this shit. Something being from Louisiana doesn't make it any better than something from anywhere else. In fact, most of the shit here ****ing sucks. This whole state pretty much ****ing sucks." He looked a little hurt, but shrugged it off. We all continued our conversation, and about a month later the dude was gone.

A week after he left, I happened upon a Big Shot Cream Soda in a local convenience store.

It was the best ****ing cream soda I have ever tasted.

To be honest, every time I meet someone from Texas that is now in Montana, they do the same thing. It seems every sentence starts with, "Down in Texas...."

Down in Texas, we put the left sock on first!
Down in Texas, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east!
Down in Texas, our grizzly bears are vegan!
Down in Texas, we have 25 hours in a day!

I've told at least five Texans in twenty years to move their asses back to Texas (One was a hot blonde from Dallas I was dating). When I rodeo'd in Texas, I never heard the one-upmanship. So it must only happen when they cross the border.

There's always the exception that proves the rule. In this case it's New England/Northeast cold water seafood.

That is, unless you're used to insipid clam strips and no bellies. Then I can't help ya'!

Yeah, I admit we Texans have some foolish pride. And you're right, that verbal promotion kicks in when living/visiting other states. I've had to learn to check myself over the years, and I'll call my fellow Texans out on it as well.
