...ancient rituals of ancestor worship that included food offerings, chocolate enemas, and hallucinations induced by vomiting, experts say.
Sounds like a typical spa treatment package.

See post 40 for the actual recipe as described in this article. The Mayas used miel de abeja, which we call honey. I love a tad of chile and cinnamon in my hot chocolate, but I can't imagine what the achiote would bring to it.

Didn't see none of this in Mel Gibson's film "Apocalypto", the priests were too busy cutting out victims' hearts.

Just remember, do *not* order the Carnation Instant Breakfast. Or hot cocoa.

Just think of the poor Maya who got conned into carob enemas by fly-by-night phony chocolate enema grifters. Tragic, really.

That image just *proves* that the entire corpus of ideas behind “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” was plagiarized from the Maya by imperialists.

“jimsonweed “
A while back my brother was clearing brush and got some jimsonweed in his eye. Caused the pupil to stay fully dilated for a couple of days.
