I realize the focus of this group is food not history, but I just
cannot ignore the derogatory remark about Poncho Villa in the press
story quoted by the OP. It's common in the USA to mischaracterize
General Villa as an outlaw leader of a gang of bandits when, in fact,
he was a shrewd, effective commanding general of a large army.

He was one of the major heroes of the Mexican Revolution. As a
tactician he was able to elude and embarrass the American army sent to
intervene in the Mexican Revolution. After the war, unlike many of the
victorious generals, he decided to stay out of politics, and go home to
the life of a gentleman rancher until he was assassinated under
conditions that have never been fully explained.

He is painted as a villain in the USA, while in Mexico he is
commemorated as a hero.
