I think if a food is made and eaten for over two hundred years in a
country,
it's pretty safe to say it's the food of that or any other country.
Simply
because it wasn't invented there, doesn't mean it is not a countries
dish. I
believe Mexican food has evolved from many diverse cultures through
the
centuries. I'm talking about all the different countries coming to
central
America and migrating north or south. South America has donated part
of
their food culture to all of Central America including Mexico and vise
versa.

Maybe the secret word is "Mantequilla de Vaca." :-) To my taste
Mantequilla de Vaca in Mexico
in most stores is just passable. I buy Fern Butter from New Zealand
when in Mexico if I can find it.
