Irony.....

a ploy unmentionable among devotees of this ng.

Living on the frontier of HispanAmerica, the indigenous products of the
hemisphere are appear regularly at table (although I really have to wait
until I'm in Nuevo Laredo have the black corn fungus soup with the
unpronouncable Nahuatl name).

.....and we really don't see the tasty guisada de puppy dog and green chiles
off the little villages on the tropical side of Mt. Orizaba in
local restaurants. But down to the HEB and Fiesta, I can come up with at
least 15 varieties of dried beans native to these continents (and all sorts
of quaint seasonings such as epazote and dried baby shrtimp).
