Crazy dream
I dreamt being in a border-town plaza where slabs of wild turkey were being
grilled and served on a flower tortilla embellished with unsweetened cranberries.... Was this an out-of-body experience? Anybody ever hear of anything like it? Wild turkey is an ancient commodity in the Americas, flour tortillas did not get a start until after the white man appeared with wheat in hand. And cranberries are prolific in the Eastern half of the US native American places. Turkey-cranberry burrito? |

It is not far fetched if you think in regional native terms and not thinking flour as only wheat and red berries as only cranberries. The Gould's turkey was native in that area, now days it is probably a Merriam, a bit different markings than your "Real Mexico Mexican " Ocellated Turkey but if I recall correctly the feathers of the Ocellated, Sea shells and some brightly colored Parrot feathers from the Central Americas have been found among the Anasazi, Mogollon and HoHokum ruins. (The first NAFTA which also explains how the chile pepper got to the SW long before Coronado's bunch was credited with this event). We see Blue Corn as a SW variety and it was a flour corn, not a dent. Yet corn as a staple is not nutritionally the best of foods. Mesquite beans and Pinion nuts were also ground into flour as was cattails roots and made into a style of flat breads similiar to flat breads the world over. For the Anasazi corn was a tough grow in the Arid SW and not as prevelent as what I know as Maize or Millet ( looks like birdseed on a stick). The Anasazi favored carrying baskets for gathering grains and seeds. They didn't get into pottery until much later (Urban blight era) . Very skilled at basketweaving, their basket were so tightly woven they would hold water to carry or cook with using hot rocks. So they used the stalks and the seeds of these plants. The cranberries could/would have been chokeberries or a variety of the sumac. Sometimes dried and pulverized with meat jerky to make pemmican sometimes with ground grains to make a gruel or porridge. |

Great write-up which has now been cut and pasted into my growing reference library with your email address as credit. Now I'm about ready to test out my 'dream' concoction. But not to excited because my taste buds don't seem to perk up at the idea of grilled turkey strips. Quien sabe? Wayne > > > > |
