here in Colorado (New Mexico too) they make green chili and pork stew. It is the equivalent of Mexican gravy and is slathered on just about anything. I asked for it back east once and they brought me diced green chilies.
Sounds like you are describing chili verde.

I LOVE blue cheese dressing on a baked potato, but that's just me, not a regional thing.

One of the strangest I've encountered is the driving on the shoulder in Texas. I believe they refer to just about any two lane with a 4 foot shoulder as "a Texas Four Lane". They would arrest folks for doing that in many states (including mine). The only scary thing for me is trying to figure out what I'd do if I had a flat tire. Thinking maybe park in the middle of the road lol cause almost NOBODY drives there.

Another that I've noticed in a NUMBER of different areas is folks drive almost every night with both headlights and fog lights on but when it's foggy during the day they don't bother turning either of them on at all. Never did understand either one of those myself. :H

On hiking trails and on the beaches of California folks will stack rocks. You see these stacks of 4 to 8 rocks, stacked on a larger rock.

In farm country around Cincinnati, it isn't unusual for total strangers coming in opposite directions to raise a single index finger as they pass each other. They all drive with both hands on the wheel at 10 and 2 and their eyes never leave the road in front of them.
A friend of mine was opening a new bar in Cincinnati. He was going to name it "Past Times Saloon" and needed old farm junk to hang from the ceiling. I rode with him out in the country to check out used furniture stores, and told him about the custom. He giggled like a little kid when he tried it. Good thing I went with him. He didn't have a clue what he was looking at in those "well used" furniture stores. Poor little city boy. 🙂
