I've heard that their recipe for chili conquistador is to die for,

A colleague gave me a copy of "Aztec" the day I reported for duty at the Embassy in Mexico City. It should be required reading for anyone planning on visiting Mexico. It was fascinating reading; obviously, Jennings did some serious research.

IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!

The Aztecs are still romanticized in Mexico, and that is really too bad.

What type of marinade did they use I wonder.As for the ones waiting in line,I think they would need to be cleansed very well to get the smell of going #1 and #2 in their britches after hearing their future beforehand.I remember seeing the first Faces of Death video,where there were three men being executed by beheading.They were placed in somewhat of a triangle,on their knees,facing each other.After the first one was beheaded,the anguished looks on the remaining two,is a sight to behold.And remember.The swordsman was very good at his profession.

Impossible. Everyone knows that the Native Americans were peaceful nature-lovers who never hurt a fly until the evil Europeans arrived. /sarc

The aztec chief's favorite dish was fried newborn baby.

Of course you KNOW that the term bar-b-que actually comes from this very practice, right?

And some people think that modern-day US advocates of strict immigration enforcement are harsh . . .

Paging Mel Gibson. Please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby. :)

The priests and town elders... sometimes ate their victims' raw and bloody hearts or cooked flesh from their arms and legs once it dropped off the boiling bones.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Of course, they did this with their own people, so it's not surprising that some Conquistadors suffered the same fate. Gimme that ol' time satanic religion...

Some pregnant women in the group had their unborn babies stabbed inside their bellies as part of the ritual.

Where have I heard this before?

[ASOC]

Well, I guess you could say this puts a whole new spin on the phrase "having someone over for dinner"....

In the end, it did them no good.

Mary and the conversion of the Aztecs.

[Little Ray]

Its called "chili".

He has an excellent writing style that draws you into to the story. He gets a little carried away with the sex, but he does do a good job of working it into the story.
He also wrote a book called The Journeyer, about Marco Polo, also an excellent read.
