A Culinary Compendium of Beasts in Mexico. Since their “discovery,” the Americas have broadly contributed to the diet of the rest of the world, and the flavors of the region’s endemic foods continue to be all the rage around the globe. What kinds of wars over food did the Spaniards wage upon their arrival? In their dealings with indigenous peoples, they were inevitably exposed to new foods and learned the relevant cooking techniques. This issue features a compilation of excerpts from texts written by various annalists who ventured to taste dishes prepared with manatee, snake, dog or rat meat, and insects. These chronicles show us again how food, in its broad diversity, forms part of our culture.
