1. Beignets
2. Willie
3. Nutria are a neusance but are relatively tasty and armadillos carry leprosy. nutria by a nearly tooth
4. No state income tax for sure, but you pay more sales and property tax.

However, I cannot Claim Louisiana does anything with our tax money better than texas does with theirs. So Texas wins this one.

5. Gumbo forever. Pork BBQ > Texas BBQ
6. Pelican

Fun fact, the north shore of New Orleans was once it’s in republic (very briefly) and their flag was a blue flag with a single white central star.

4-2 Louisiana

Correct. It was 1810 and was the first "lone star" flag in the country. It flew for 3 months before these parishes were annexed as part of the La Purchase transaction years earlier. The same design was reprised later by the Confederate States of America and it's now more widely known as the Bonnie Blue.


Louisiana was also it's own sovereign nation (for two months) after seceding from the Union and before joining the Confederacy. This was the flag:

1, 4 & 5 are the only ones that truly matter, and all of those are in Texas’ favor.

Foolish title for someone that needs others to write a hit song for him. Willie can't sing for shite, but he has written more classics than you can count.

Beignets right now but that’s because I had tacos yesterday.

Armadillo

No tax

Gumbo

Lone star.

1.Tacos are not breakfast food! Beignets wins this one.
2.i like both so it's a push
3. I dislike both of these so it's a push
4.no income tax wins this one but your property tax sucks mightily!
5.Gumbo wins because it can be seafood or chicken Andouille. That picture is not like any Gumbo I've ever seen looks more like shrimp stew!
6. I like the pelican taking care of it's family over the lone Star which I would like to say was stolen from the north shore of New Orleans.

Taco > Beignet
Louis > Willie
No thanks to the nutria or armadillo
No state income tax > income tax
Gumbo (and tons of other LA foods) > brisket
Pelican > Lone Star

LA - 3
Texas - 2

Agreed. I don't want to live in a world where I have to choose either breakfast tacos or beignets, and either brisket or gumbo. I want them all!

Family, God, Football, and Food are my life's priorities.
