Geoff- not sure why you had trouble referencing source, maybe I noted badly but all of those are directly from my book, Celebraciones Mexicanas: History, Traditions and Recipes by Andrea Lawson Gray (me) and Adriana Almazan Lahl, published September 2013 by Altamira Press (now Rowman & Littlefield) as part of their Food Studies series with distinguished editor Ken Albala. I assure you it contains all verified and original resrach, book appears in the Harvard and Oxford libraries. LMK what I should do to correct this please.
