I try to use everything that was here before the "Colombian Exchange" but I have to have my garlic cumin and onion powder.
It is written that onions were already in use here by Indians when the first Europeans showed up.
Garlic not.
Cumin not.
But both and or all caught on fast.
It is said that cochinita pibil is an ancient dish of the Maya.
Not hardly, there were no pigs.
Maybe they used the peccary or tapir instead.
