Huevos con salsa- was Re: SC - Turkish Breakfast - OOP

>Huevos??? She don' even know us!!!

Have you ever tried Huevos con Frijoles Negros?

Mix 50/50 Black beans and tomatoes, with Proper Salsa to taste, break an
appropriate number of eggs over the mixture, and bake until the eggs are
cooked. Makes a wonderful early-before-the-heat-of-the-day-hits breakfast.

Also, I've been corresponding with a lady on the subject of Period Aztec
foods, and she feels that the chili con carne (which says a bit right there)
that you adhere to is most likely a semi modern Texican invention, and that
in period, there were a number of chile/bean/tomato/other vegetables stews,
most without meat, but some with (mostly turkey and dog). Apparantly, the
Native American Mexicans had very little meat, but would throw it in the pot
when they did, thus making the chili you consider heretical. They also had
no fat, and thus wouldn't fry, making refritos OOP.

We might all be coming to the same meal from different places here, you
thinking of the NAMED chili as being the dish you were describing, sorta
like Buffalo Wings, with similar dishes acquiring the same name over time.

Thoughts?

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.
