Well, perhaps it was Ramona from:
Pauline Wiley-Kleemann, ed. "Ramona's Spanish-Mexican Cookery; The First
Complete and Authentic Spanish-Mexican Cook Book in English" (Los Angeles: West
Coast Publishing Co., 1929). BTW, its claims for being the "First" and
"Complete" and "Authentic" are exaggerated.
Or perhaps it (and the above cookbook, I've often wondered) could be a
reference to "Ramona" the outdoor play re early relations among, Mexican,
Indian and Anglo societies in California circa 1850. I think it has run
continuously in Riverside, California, since 1923.
