By the way…this all started with this video and the comments from yesterday.
Oh yeah, I wanted to say Rice Cake, I think, not Rice Patty.

You look so frightened you shouldn’t eat it. This grain is delicious. I love it. It is from before the Aztec Times. My father farmed it as a child. It prevents cancer. Yep it is good for you. I can’t believe you doubt what you read. Mexican Candy is 1000 times better than US Candy because at least it has nutricion.
May I remind you that Chocolate is also Mexican. The Tomato is Mexican.
What would “italian food” be with out the tomato? What would the world have done without the Cocoa Bean.
Its funny because the other day I heard this woman @ the smithsonian museum say that the Aztecs mixed cocoa beans with “milk” and made hot chocolate and that Cortez took this back to spain and commercialized it.
I was thinking, the Aztecs didn’t have cows, how could they have made what in modern times is known as “mexican hot chocolate.”
Anyway, why are you in Mexico if you look so disgusted by its native plants? Maybe you should stick to the 14 grams of fat in contemporary US Chocolate. Fat is not good for you and its filled with cancer producing sugar. Good luck with that.
By the way Poinsettias, you know the famous flowers that are red and used for Christmas, Native to Mexico.
Hey Zulma…I never said I was disgusted by its native plants. I said i didn’t like the grain. last i remember is that i don’t have to like everything. heck. there are plenty of american things I don’t like, either.
Nice comment about the Aztecs, though. I’m not sure all Mexican candy has nutritious value, though.
I think I’ll stick with the first bar. I liked the taste of that… : )
I’m sure Dennis’ enthusiasm for Mexican beer more than compensates for his dislike of grain-candy. Viva Mexico!
you were wright about the name of the grain and ahh yeah it does have nutricional value.
and Aaron’s comment is exactly why its important that people do ethnographic observations carefully or else you end up with debasing comments like, “at least the beer is good.” sigh
