My mothers-in-law have a mini farm they bought before retirement. Part of my wife's mother's hobbies include gardening and canning the things they grow with various types of pickling and preserving. One of my favorites that she brings us a couple times per year is called "cowboy candy." It's basically candied jalapeños with a stout vinegar brine and several sweet herbs/peppers/onions. I know a lot of people aren't huge fans of jalapeños or things that are spicy, but there really are good. It's like having slightly spicy pickle that is doused in sugary sweetness.

[@psionicjinx]

As a Hispanic in Texas, those are candies from Mexico mostly. They’re made at a San Antonio business, but that doesn’t mean they’re “Texas” flavored. That company doesn’t make the best candy either. They use cheap dye that also severely dyes your teeth colors and upsets your stomach.

[@williamcooper2415]

I've lived in Texas my whole life and have never seen any of the things you tried. The spices tell me they are probably Tex-Mex and their construction leans heavily that they are more novelty or gimmick souvenirs. If you want true historically accurate, traditional Texas candy, you have to go to Fredericksburg. There, you will find old European craft handed down from generations of not just candy making, but the largest selection of locally crafted wines of remarkable flavors you've never considered. But the most favorite candy, is actually called a pie and once you have a correctly made PECAN PIE, you'll never want anything else for the rest of your life; it truly is the most incredible confectionery ever devised. Like your shows a lot. Your raw honesty is what makes it an interesting curiosity.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

I lived in Texas for a couple of years when I was 17 to 18. I never encountered any of that stuff. I never even heard the word "chamoy". I looked it up on Google. According to Wikipedia, chamoy is "a variety of savory sauces and condiments in Mexican cuisine made from pickled fruit. Chamoy may range from a liquid to a paste consistency, and typically its flavor is salty, sweet, sour, and spiced with chilis." Sounds icky.

These are mostly considered Mexican candy, though I will say the lollipop looks wrong..... The Mexican mango lollipop with Chamoy is superb though.

[@danielpurcell9253]

I'm a San Antonio native and the best stuff is Mexican "candy" like this. But there's a few key things: 1) they missed saladitos (dried salted plums, chile coated is the best), 2) they also missed tamarind spoons (tamarind paste filled plastic spoons wrapped in plastic), 3) those watermelon suckers should have come in a bag with more chile to dip them in as you eat them, 4) I've never heard of chamoy pickles but now I absolutely must get my hands on some. Oh, and no "Lucas" products at all?

[@WyldstaarStudios]

@@had1toomany114 that’s not a direct comparison, especially since it’s debatable that that would be considered Italian food by real Italians. White people seem to think this is Mexican candy.
