I remember that so well. Bless his heart it was President Gerald Ford.

Those wanting to be president must never, ever refuse or fumble the local specialties, lest they repeat the sins of John Kerry (dismissed as effete when he ordered a Philly cheese steak with Swiss in 2004) or Gerald R. Ford (during a 1976 swing through Texas, he bit into a tamale with the corn husk still on).
This is a quiz on the turbulent year of 1835 in the state of Texas. Texans were on the brink of revolution with Mexico and by the end of the year had started the revolt.
