We recently discussed caribbean foods. You might want to look at this 
file in the FOOD-BY-REGION section of the Florilegium, although I may 
not yet have this file online. Since I will be publishing my monthly 
article soon, with this file, I guess I better get it online soon, 
anyway.
fd-Caribbean-msg  (16K) 10/28/03    Food of the 16th Century Caribbean.

And there is this file in the FOOD-SWEETS section, however chocolate 
drinks very quickly picked up European accents and ingredients.
chocolate-msg     (65K)  6/25/02    History and description of early
