The Fat of The Land of Very
Lean With Our Neighbor Mexico
J WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 6.—ls the
I American soldiers had been forced to
live on “the fat of the land” while on
I their punitive expedition into Mexico
'they would have found it decidedly
[lean and would have had occasion to
lain bitterly of the commissary,
for although the neighboring republic
, Las within its borders an extraordin
ary variety of food products, including
: most of the vegetables, fruits and cer
eals grown in both the temperate zone
: and the tropics, there is neither variety
i nor abundance in its northern states.
| A bulletin on culinary practices in
; the Southern republic, issued by the
| National Geographic Society in Wash
ington, says:
I “Since the days of the Montezumas,
Mexico’s staff of life has taken the
i form of the tortillas, made of Indian
corn, which is indigenous to the coun-
Itry. The preparation of the tortilla is
. the work of the Indian women, who
| first boil the grain and then, while
ading water, grind it to a stiff paste on
■ a metate, or fiat motar. This paste
I usually is moulded with the hands into
thin cakes and is cooked much after
; the fashion of the ‘hoe cake’ of Dixie-
• land.
“The frijole, or Mexican bean fre
quently fried in fat, is another staple,
both when served alone and when con
stituting an important ingredient of
the famous chile con carne, a sort of
goulash, compounded, customarily, of
beer and beans, with a pe’ntiful seas
oning of chili, the Mexican pepper.
“The hot tamale has made its way
across the border, but it does not have
the same flavor when taken from a
can as when the particles of meat are
seasoned with pepper, mixed with corn
! meal, wrapped in corn ‘shucks,’ boiled
I until thoroughly cooked, peeled out of
and eaten from the shuck.
“One of the odd dishes of northern
Mexico is the pipian, made of finely
ground squash-seed, boiled in a sauce
pan.
"While the tortillas, frijoles, chile
ccn carne, and tamales, ‘washed down’
with liberal potations of pulque, may
be considered the foundation of his
I menu, the peon of Southern Mexico
has various appetizers which are un
known to the peon of the north. There
is, for example, the ‘water wheat,’
, which is not exactly what its name
implies, but the eggs of flies. The
native Mexican eats his water wheat
! with the same epicurean relish that
the Chinese mandarin eats his expens
ive bird-nest, the Central African his
raw hippopotamus, the Canton merch
ant his stall-fed dog, and the West
'ndian his palm worms stewed in fat.
The water-wheat fields are ponds in
which the peon places bundles of reeds
a few feet apart, so that their tops are
just above the surface. On these reeds
ior rushes the insects deposit their
i'eggs in increditible numbers. The
bundles are then removed and the
‘crop’ is shaken off. The eggs, re-
• scmbling fine fish-roe, are made into
j small cakes and are sold in the mar-1
kets, to be eaten either as we eat
cheese or mixed with corn meal and '
fowl eggs. The insects themselves,!
which are about the size of our house-I
j flies, are also eaten, the method of;
pieparation being to pound them into)
a paste and boil with corn husks
“The fruits of Southern Mexico are
numerous and some of them are delic-!
ious. One of the most unusual is the'
papaya or melon zapote, winch grows'
on a tree and often weighs as much as
.20 pounds. It has characteristics of
pumpkin and the watermelon, and in
addition contains considerable pepsin,
so that the diner may take his aid-to
i digestion and his dessert at one and
I the same time. The parrot fruit is
peculiar chiefly on account of its strik-
■ ii:g resemblance to the green parra
keetes which are to be found in Mexi-
jcc These little birds frequently elude
; hawks by perching among the fruit,
, from which they are almost indisting- ■
uishable.
"The traveler who plucks fruit from ,
the arbol di dinamite and stows it
I away in his suitcase will be startled
jto hear a loud explosion in a short I
[time, as the product of the aptly named '
dynamite tree detonates whenever it is
■placed in a warm spot.
“The Tarahumare Indians, who are
especially fond of fish, frequently
' organize fishing parties which last
several days. On these occasions they
find it impracticapble to depend on
their crude traps and thorn-pointed
spears, so they make a fish poison by
crushing the leaves of two varieties of
the maguey plant. These leaves are
thown into a stream w'hich has been
dammed and the following morning
Le fish, some merely stupefied and
others already dead, are easily gather
ed. The poison, fortunately, is not of
I a character to affect human beings.
Tadpoles, larvae, and water-beetles are
other aquatic delicacies dear to the
Tarahumare palate.
“Lovers of chocolate bonbons and
drinkers of cocoa are indebted to the
ancient Mexicans for the cocoa bean.
The Montezumas called the beverage
made from this bean which was at
one time used as money, chacolatl,
from choco (cocoa) and latl (water).
Another valuable bean from tropical
Mexico is the vanilla, which grows on
a climbing orchid.”
