Whoops!  Cinco de Mayo isn't even remotely period.  It's the anniversary of 
the Battle of Puebla, during which Mexican forces defeated the French army 
(c. 1845, IIRC).  You could make a salsa bandera: chopped tomatoes, peppers, 
onion, cilantro, and some lime juice.  Red, white and green: very patriotic. 
  Santa Ana would be proud.

"Viva Mexico!"
