Mexico's FIFA Guerrero's

Mexico’s FIFA Guerrero’s

Volume 6, Issue 18, June 23, 2014

The colorful and rich history of Mexico from the Azteca’s to the Mayan temple and the Latino empires that ruled the Southern Mexican coast and innermost regions of Mexico.

The ancient rivals of the Azteca and Mayan empires would do battle on the playing field of soccer and the winner would be able to live another day, but the loser captain would be put to death in this soccer game of the ancient world. Imagine the rivals as they prepared and ate their meals filled with flavorful spices and herbs that would produce the maximum amount of energy and stamina to survive the ancient games of the ancient soccer world.

A tiny hole above the playing field was the goal fence that the ancient warriors of soccer would vie for a hole in one. The soccer players were to try and ace a ball through one of the holes made in the ancient ruins that we know today. Not only did the Europeans have soccer in their history but the ancient world of Mexico had experience since 1846 with the Aztecs who played with a stone ball into a basket like hole against the temple wall.

All of the fighting factions from Europe to the Americas in the U.S. wanted a piece of what was and is a colorful, vibrant, and rich country. Mexico is comprised of 31 states in one federal district and the temples of each region like Chichen-Itza (Kukulkan) in Yucatan, the Mayan pyramid in Chiapas, and Tenochititlan in Mexico City all have produced different and unique foods to each region and are as diverse as the people that are from each region.

Spice and chili flavorings are a primary staple in the cooking and herbs gathered to entice and captivate the audience of food consumption in the beautiful and colorful Mexican Country. There is no doubt that rice, beans, and spicy- chili flavored meats garnish the gourmet plates made by the people of Mexico. Even the vegetables are spiced and flavored with seasonings that are developed to entice and enrapture the consumer with exotic and extraordinary tastes.

All said and done the FIFA Guerrero’s are pampered and fed the luscious and spicy herbs, roots, and spices that flavor and season their favorite dishes. At one time some of the seasonings could only be found in Mexico but with trade and the invading factions of the ancient world by ancient empires and migrating tribes it was carried out throughout the world.

The Spanish Conquest and European invasion also brought new spices, herbs, roots, and foods that were mixed or fused with the Mexican foods of the era. Not only were people fused or mixed but so was the food of the era.

Some of the herbs we have already talked about have been Mexican Oregano, Mormon Tea, Wormseed, Prickly Poppy, Damiana, Wild Yam, Yerba Santa, and Wild tobacco. But there are still a few that we have yet to embark upon and talk about they are:
