The answer is: Pecan
because every Texan knows a PeeCan is something you take with you on a long trip. CHEERS!

Well… You might catch me with that but I don’t think any of my kids would fall for it. 
But then none of my kids were born in Texas.

Incorrect. Real Texans are defined by the exclusion of beans from any and all chili. Also if you make a steak well done I’m recommending you for relocation to Oklahoma

It’s pronounced Pe
And I’ve told Arby’s that on their stupid FB ads. A pee-can is what you use on a road trip when you don’t want to stop the car.

If you ever find yourself abroad in a group of drunken and quasi-melodious Europeans demonstrating songs of their cultural heritage and asked to do the same… well you can’t go wrong with Deep in the Heart of Texas or Rodney Carrington’s The Beer Song.

I continue to assert this. Mom and Dad and four kids when I was young, my mother added everything she could to stretch the chili as far as possible. Beans, onions, fritos, cheese, everything she could get us to eat. I’m a real Texan.
I’m a Native Texan. You know what, I’m proud of it too.

Not only a native Texan, but a native Dallasite. But I prefer beans in my chili. Along with cheese and Fritos if at all possible.
