She likes to cook but she always cooks Cuban food or some type of dish with a Caribbean taste. So I told her for mothers day that she could cook me a good Texan dish...I chose King Ranch Chicken.

Yeah it was a casserole and it was amazing... I could eat it every day for the rest of my life. I'm not sure how healthy it is but geebus I don't really give a darn.

Not to start anything, but why was your mother cooking for you on Mother's Day instead of the other way around?:D

If there is one typically Texas dish that I despise, it's King Ranch Chicken. I can't stomach it. I realize that I'm in the minority, and I don't think I am better than everyone else. KRC just makes my stomach churn.

Chicken, RoTel, cream of mushroom soup, some corn tortillas, bell peppers, and maybe one jalepeno are the base, with different recipies. I look at it as a very white attempt at an enchilada.

When I was little I used to ask for chicken a la mode - when I meant chicken a la king - both of which are nasty.
But, I was a funny kid - right?

OK just kidding, thought maybe you were taking a swing at Kingsville. :)
On another note: Did you know there is a bill in front of the Texas House to change the name of TAMUK back to Texas A&I? Its HB4647. Was already passed by the Senate as Bill 2376 I believe.
I'd get a kick out of it if passed, but I doubt it would change much.

I still call it A&I. I understand why alums want to see it changed back. No argument from me. I had heard about that on the d2 board.
I highly doubt King Ranch Chicken was invented on the King Ranch. It smells to me of Dallas area church potluck concoction that was christened due to its similitary to Chicken a la King but with a spicy "Texas" twist. (The twist being one poor seeded jalepeno and the spices in the RoTel.)

The story I heard was that it was indeed invented at the King Ranch. It is OK, but my family is not big on casseroles period. It is very popular at church pot luck socials.
To the Thread topic. I love to cook and do a good job at it but on Mother's Day my boys either cook or more than likely we go out. Mom's should not cook on mothers day.

I guess I'm going to hell because my mom cooked on mothers day... I'll see ya'll there. If I had any type of control of the situation it would have happened differently but considering everyone else in my family is long gone and living in other places my mom doesn't have anyone to take care of... so she decided that she wanted to cook for me. My mom and I are the only ones in my immediate family who live in Austin.

Mary Kleberg admitted that her heart fell everytime a hostess prepared it. The ranch won't claim anything to do with it.

Just passing on the stories I have heard forever about it. I tried to fix it once and my family looked at me like I poisoned them. Never have I tried it again.

Oh, I know the stories, just a native South Texan chiming in. Here's an old Texas Monthly article about the dish:

I do make a dish called chicken/turkey sopa. It has the chicken (not boiled, I use the meat from a roasted chicken), fresh green chiles, sour cream, cheese and tortillas. No soup though. It comes from El Paso and several families their claim to have started it. Not the same.
My family likes their food separated. Tough crowd at times.
