You are very lucky to live where you do. I can't even purchase a piece
of Stilton cheese here. The vast majority of the population here is of
Mexican heritage so if it's not in the Mexican culinary dictionary, I'll
not find it locally.

Corpus Christi is about 2 hours away and that would be the closest
mixed-cultural place I could find different foods.
