I live in Texas, and I’ve had English Tex-Mex in London – I believe it was at the Texas Embassy just off Trafalgar Square. Definitely not the genuine article. I’d rather have pub food (and cider!) any day.
#2, to give you an idea, “nachos” are tortilla chips mashed up, smothered with canned guacamole and eaten with a fork. Thank the Lord for the daily specials which are not usually “Mexican”, and for the fajitas which are quite decent.
If I didn’t find something to laugh at here, it would all be just too depressing.
Elle (#3), my husband and I have eaten there too! We are Texans and we were in London at the tale end of our Scotland trip in May 2001. Just for fun (thinking it might be neat to try something “familiar”) we got off the bus and had lunch at the Texas Embassy. (We’d eaten at a TexMex place in Monaco the summer before so we knew how unTexan or non-Mexican it would probably be.) It was definitely a novelty place and even if the food wasn’t that good it was fun to tell the waitress that we were from Texas!
Quick double-check the invite list!! There are a 101% of the attendees accounted for! Did some of the stay-away-ers sneak in? Did somebody get in who’s not on the list? Or did we simply double-count someone?
Good fun!
At first I thought the 28% was “bishops and spouses wandering aimlessly but usually avoiding the rabbis”
One’s mind recoils at thoughts of what English tex-mex might be…

Nothing like a little overabundance in a Church council…
Or perhaps it is that Excel does a little rounding with the numbers that I plugged in (which were very well thought out, I assure you!).
