I watched the episode on Truly Texas Mexican on PBS. I agree that more attention needs to be paid to our history. Understanding aside, this says more about our ideas on discrimination than anything else. The Professor said that we have tomatoes because the Indian harvested them. How many other things have we been misled about. Aren’t we strong enough that we could be even stronger if we allowed all qualified people or ideas their fair shot. I continue to be surprised by how little I know. Ha!

Military husband and I were stationed in Germany in early 70s and got together with other Tejano families to eat and listen to music on our treasured record players. My husband would also take tacos to the single soldiers in the barracks. We were all craving cabeza, so one day the men went to a German butcher shop. Told the butcher “fur den hund” (for the dog) and put it in the trunk. When the MPs checked the trunk, they jumped back because the head that was staring at them was greatly unexpected. We cooked it in the oven because we didn’t want to get in trouble for digging a hole in a US government installation. In Puerto Rico, our Tejano group stationed there threw a big party with tamales, etc., for a mariachi group who lived in PR to show our appreciation for their great music and friendship. It was by invitation only so no one objected when the party started with the mariachi playing the Mexican national anthem! (We are both originally from Crystal City, TX.) Great show on PBS! Gracias!

In reply to pablo castillo jr. Hi, Pablo. I'm happy to read your comments, thank you so much for sharing them, and so glad you liked our documentary feature film. Please tell all your friends to watch. It is an Amazon Prime movie so it is free if you subscribe. It's also on Apple TV, Google Play and YouTube. The Mesteño magazine is no longer published. You can contact the publisher who is in the movie, Homero Vera, on his Facebook page. I think he may have a website with articles.

Watched Truly Texas Mexican ,absolutely fantastic. i consider myself a Texican. This program brought back memories of both Parents cooking in the kitchen or my Dad cooking outside on the “parrilla” he had. This has made me want to bring back those memories of cooking.
I would like to also subcribe to El Mesteno Magazine,but I cant find a website for it.
