‘Once they had captured the people in 1520, the Acolhuas people sacrificed the invaders and ate them, along with the animals, with the exception of the pigs – they were apparently viewed as unsavory and were killed and thrown into a well.”
They threw out the best meat - idiots.
Early Muslims?
Gotta keep it kosher .....LOL!!
Apparently they preferred the “long pig”— which they somehow did not equate to their own selves, as humans, and especially any darker color skinned individuals (like.. Spaniards, Africans and other tribes). A term from the old S. Pacific islands.
Derived from ‘puaa oa’, a phrase originating in the Marquesan language to euphemistically refer to cannibalism.
The phrase first appeared in Fredrick O’Brien’s 1919 travelogue of French Polynesia, “White Shadows in the South Seas”.
“Upon it once stood the temple and about it were enacted the rites of mystery, when the priests and elders fed on the ‘long pig that speaks,’ when the drums beat till dawn and wild dances maddened the blood.”
****the pigs – they were apparently viewed as unsavory and were killed and thrown into a well.”****
They threw the pigs in a well, but ate the “LONG PIG”.
