Tell Jennings that Ole Moctezuma probably had about 10,000 nekkid maidens
(tribal tribute, bound for the altar and the dinner table) out at
Xochimilco straining the sweet nectar out of the banks of honeysuckle along
the road.

Shoot, if it's fiction, make it colorful.

I do want to try chocolate in atole which was sort a national
dish/soup/porridge of the region, a corn kernel starchy pulp belnd which
would have been at least semisweet for a short period in each corncob's
life cycle.

The modern horchata and the popular "liquados", fruit shakes, of mexico
provide some concept ofg the availabilities for Aztec dining (beyond
tribute tribesfolk, solving the local protein deficiency.
