1. Chicken Fried Cactus
In a state dominated by Tex-Mex cuisine, it is a mystery why the ultra-Mexican ingredient, cactus, is often overlooked and under-appreciated. The mere thought of eating cactus may sound daunting to many. With its State Fair of Texas debut in a nice, chicken-fried format, cactus may have just found its breakthrough in the Texas food scene. We predict Texans will fall in love with these little chicken-fried cacti for their flavor and consistency -- a bit on the slimy side -- which closely resemble that of the okra. And don't worry -- all spines are removed prior to consumption. Go ahead, try them -- you'll be screaming "gracias" to us all the way from the big D.
