Yea, unfortunately they won't get to know the goodness of Allsups burritos…I don't know where they would even be within 200 miles of being able to get one.


Nastiest gas station food ever. Would rather eat week old gas station sushi in Kansas

Anytime I see an Allsups , I get burritos.


I live in SW McKinney.

Closest Allsup's is on 380 in Princeton.

If I get the need for a fix... I will make the trek to Princeton and stock up ... extras sealed up and into the freezer they go.

Those beef and bean burritos are close to the fried ones served at my jr. high cafeteria in the late 70s. Those old cafeteria ladies ruled!

I love how the World Cup has revolutionized European opinions about Texas. I hope they realize that there is a legal way to become a US citizen if they want to live here.

Exactly. I don't remember much from those days but I always got two fried burritos and a chocolate milk for lunch. Allsups is the closest ones I've found.

I don't know who stole from who, but I learned of the hippo from a Mexican food place in Lake Jackson. That's where Bucees started; that's the best burrito in the game.

Thinking Freddy's kids and grandkids will one day think he's full of **** when he talks about his visit to America makes me smile. "They had billboards welcoming me as I entered the city!"

"Okay, Dad, back to bed now."

This is NSFW (language, they are Aussies) but it's hilariously true.

This one from a South African guy hits really hard.



I have a coworker who is a white SA and he emigrated with his family to America about 18 months ago and they bought a house in Dripping Springs and are loving life. He followed his sister who moved to Austin and works in Tech. He is college educated and says there is no opportunity in SA for him.

Have you ever watched the YouTube channel Jolly? It's two British guys doing food all over the world. It's hilarious to hear then talk about ranch dressing (which Josh pronounces as "raunch").

But I'm glad the visitors are having a good experience nonetheless

This. Too many texmex places/food trucks around with homemade tortillas and real eggs to waste time on Buccees breakfast food. The sammiches ain't bad, but their tacos are disappointing in every regard.

Too bad Kraft wouldn't be able to sell those packets in the UK. Too many ingredients that are likely outlawed there. Of course, anything having more than a few ingredients is problematical for them.

The list from similar ranch dressing packets:
Maltodextrin (from corn), salt, monosodium glutamate, buttermilk solids (from milk), whey solids (from milk), garlic, onion, lactic acid, modified corn starch, citric acid, casein (from milk), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, whole milk solids, parsley, guar gum and calcium stearate.

AI says it would be allowed, but AI is often wrong.

No, none of the ingredients listed on that ranch dressing packet are illegal or banned in the United Kingdom. There is a widespread internet myth that American packaged foods are loaded with chemicals that are completely illegal across the Atlantic. While it is true that the UK and the European Union have stricter thresholds on specific food dyes (like Yellow 5 or Red 40) and have banned substances like potassium bromate (a dough conditioner) and titanium dioxide (a whitening agent), the specific ingredients in this classic ranch recipe are fully permitted in both jurisdictions.

That's weird because the Brit youtubers have to order ranch dressing from Amazon. Can't buy it over there from what I have heard them say.

....and THIS right here is why we have what we have........CAPITALISM!! If you have the ability to make money and the gov't stays out of the way, all the good things that people love and want, will be everywhere.


Also, I think Trump and his administration should broadcast this stuff 24/7 and remind the world that their governments and the media is lying to them about America. Spread all of these complimentary clips through every avenue possible. Make hay while the sun is shining.
I don't think you know me.

And ordering things from Amazon to be shipped to the UK is very expensive, so if it were available in stores they would buy it there. They pay like ten dollars for a jar of Jif creamy peanut butter. About the same for a squeeze bottle of grape or strawberry jelly. Makes for expensive PB&J.

Had fun going through this whole thread up to this point. Have a good client who's lived in the USA for years but is originally from Scotland. She's currently recovering from a bad stomach bug so it was a lot of fun sending her all these videos and pics, especially the many Scotland related ones.

She loves this country. Avid Trump supporter as well.

It's as if the MSM pushing 'Trump is the devil!!!' 24/7 colored their viewing habits, so they're completely shocked when they travel to America, and talk to actual Americans, especially in the South.

This is hell for the left. How dare people speak complimentary of our evil racist country??

hahaha to be fair this couple in video of amarillo are white...

It can? Have watched two streams that are basically FIFA World Cup for dummies today and still don't understand how the seeding works until the knock out rounds, as they are called? I mean I'm trying to understand but there are so many rules and options. Losing a game is not bad, until the time comes when losing a game means the team is finished at this World Cup.

Please bear with me for asking dumb questions.
