I found this interesting paragraph while researching the history and lore of
chili. Is this true?

During the 1980s, San Antonio began staging what they call "historic
re-enactments" of the chili queens. As an tribute to chili, the state dish,
the city of San Antonio holds an annual "Return of the Chili Queens
Festival" in Market Square during the Memorial Day celebrations in May,
sponsored by the El Mercado Merchants.

I haven't heard of it in years... but know that they used to do it. I
don't speak enough Spanish to go to San Antonio now, so I spend most
of my time in Mexico where there are some Gringos.
