As it happens, a household sister of mine, who used to live in a Mexican
neighborhood and who got weary of the all-night 5 de Mayo parties, used to
throw a Cinq de Mai party with French food, hanging a French tricolor out
front.  Fortunately, the neighbors didn't get it.  English-speaking Americans
are not the only Americans who don't remember history, evidently.  :-/

P. S. Naw, Brighid wouldn't know about any period Spanish recipes, Oh Noooooo!
