Apology accepted g
It would interesting to investigate the heredity of those early cowboys.
The
towns in the Hill Country were settled by Germans, drawn by a land
speculator who had a speculative investment of 300,000 acres of worthless,
Indian-infested land he sold to the homefolk as a Paradise. He bought it
sight unseen. Sort of like Florida swampland only prettier. The cattle
coming up from the Nueces on their way to market ate all the grasses up
there, leaving room for the cedar to take over.
Unless the Chili Queens predate the immigrants.

Because my chili has more chiles than paprika? And comino...

That's a different take on chili. And one I support. The Aztlans/Aztecs had
a stew...some had cocoa, some didn't.
My homage to this is 'Hogan's Famous'. Includes corn, tomatoes, cocoa
powder, 3 beans etc. just no potatoes. It ain't CASI-approved chili but it's
damn good.

The other comment is that, as far as I know, chili contains beef and
although deer and antelope were here long before the conquest,

Just a gentle correction for anyone who cares. There have never been
antelope in the Americas. You are probably refering to the pronghorn -
"Antelocapra americana". It is not related to antelopes nor to any living
animal. As the scientific name suggests, they are sometimes placed in a
group of animals called "goat antelopes" although they are neither. Other
animals in this group: chamois, saiga, takin and muskox. Other than the
muskox and takin none are actually related.

Don't get me started on their use of the word "buffalo" either -
supposedly there are no buffalo in the Americas, either.

For there not being any, I sure have been 'buffalo'd' more times than I care
to remember!

I take it that is the same as what comes from the south end of a north
bound bull buffalo, LOL.

And someone called *me* an obsessive fuss-budget! :-) Given the
number of Antelope counties and towns, and states requiring "antelope"
hunting permits, let's give Wayne a break and acknowledge that while
the "Antelocapra americana" may not be the same critter as an African
antelope, not many Texans are making "pronghorn" stew.

Heaven knows what "Texas style" chile means. As you well know, New
Mexico is the source of all authentic chile/chilli recipes and foods.
With or without antelope. :-)

Hoss in Texas we make chili out of Chicken, opossum, rabbit, coon,
armadillo, if its meat me cook it!!!

My dear Frogleg, I wasn't criticizing Wayne. Mammalian taxonomy is one of
the few things that I know something about. This gave me a chance to
contribute here whilst learning from others. Mr Durrell would certainly
approve! ;-)

Aww, now you've hit one of my soft spots. RIP, Gerry. I *did* notice
that your post was informative, not critical. However, having hunted
(or at least been in the truck) around Magdalena, NM, what my
companions said they were after were "antelope." I do, however,
appreciate your exactitude. :-)

Because songwriters (a) are ignorant, (b) take artistic license,
(c) couldn't get "goat antelopes" to fit into the rhythm and meter of
the song, or (d) didn't like the way "muskox" rolled off the tongue.

I don't know much about these animals except nobody I know has eaten one
after shooting it for a wall mount. I also know they really like Oreo
cookies. I stopped somewhere on a fenceline around Post , Texas and fed
Oreos to a herd of these antelopes who stopped to look at me. Really ****ed
my 2 little girls off bad...they wanted the cookies for themselves.
