SC - Tahini/Sesame Butter

[Terri Millette]

Ana, send me as many of your pre-Columbian recipes as you are willing and
able to. You needn't translate them, I can do that- just include your
sources.

I'm not sure about other areas of Mexico and South America, but my
information is that chocolatl as used by the Aztecs was the only chile/cacao
combination, served as a hot drink only for ceremonial purposes, and only to
men. Mole was concocted by a group of nuns in Los Angeles in the 1700's,
thus leaving it out of our period, but guacamole is not only pre-Columbian,
but an Aztec word to boot.

If you have any serious information to the contrary, I'd love to see it,
with citations, etc.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
