You do not know anything other than ignorance and bigotry. Almost all great
food is born of poverty and if it was not for the Mexicans you would not have
chocolate, potatoes, tomatoes, chile peppers, sweet corn or anetto.

My first restaurant was in Mexico and I used to serve dishes from poverty
around the world, like baklava, coconut chicken soup, Irish stew, lasagna,
pigs trotters, black sausage, Balmain bugs, pigeon breast, calves liver, baked
brie, feta etc.

Aztecs again, but Aztecs from Mexico City. I'll give you that one on a
technicality.

Eh. Grows all over, north and south of Mexico.

Huh? Not even close on that one. That's Native American, from way
north of Mexico.

> anetto.

Okay, you've stumped me there. I don't even know what that is?

You'll note I gave you one Aztec ingredient from Mexico, but not the
other from farther south.
