Sure they do. I'm a So Cal native, and we saw Mexicans in Taco Bell all the time...

Actually, probably not cyanide...
Cyanide is a common poison which occurs in some fruit seeds such as: apple seeds (very small amounts), peach/apricot/whatever else of that family... Interestingly, there are some people who are exploring the use of apricot seeds as a cancer cure. I've not heard that it is terribly successful. There are actually trace amounts of cyanide in almonds too.
Nutmeg, aside from being poisonous in large quantities, is also a hallucinogen. It comes from the nut inside the fruit which yields the spice called 'mace'. I'm not too sure about it's link with spray cans of mace, never looked into it, but if they started out with mace, I think currently they generally use capsicum = cayenne.
Many foods which are poisonous also have medicinal or psychosomatic effects. Morning Glory seeds = LSD. Hemlock. Belladonna berries... Naturally, loads of people end up dying because they want to try it out.
I've also read that if you boil down the tobacco leaves (not the paper and filters) of a pack of cigarettes until it becomes a thick soup-like consistency, it is fatally poisonous with just a 3-5 drops for an average sized person.... Keep smoking, it's cool and healthy!

Mace gets its name from the medieval weapon for close-quarters fighting. Nothing to do with the spice. I don't know how many of the self-defense sprays use capsicum, but I know for sure some of them do.

Interesting, capsicum is also used to keep bears at bay; Bear. |

I said, with an utterly straight face, "hippo." They just looked at me for a moment and changed the subject. |
Reminds me of an old joke about a guy in court after being charged with killing and eating a Bald Eagle. He goes on explaining that he was lost for over a week, set up a trap, and accidentally caught the eagle. Since he was starving and the bird was dead, he decided to cook it up anyway. As he started eating, the park ranger showed up.
In sympathy, the judge accepts the story and decides to let him off. "But before you go," he says, "may I ask you what a bald eagle tastes like?"
The guy replies, "Oh, it somewhat of a mix between spotted owl and California condor." |

Reminds me of all the nasty things my grandparents used to cook up. One of my great gandmas used to cook racoon, everyone swore it tasted like roast beef, I'll never know. I have heard people say it tastes good, but you have to know how to remove the glands or it tastes like a stinky skunk. The worst is menudo, ok the band too, but the soup is made with tripe. If you've ever watched it being prepared you won't even want to try it. (for those who don't know what tripe is, it's the lining of a cow's stomach.) My other grandma also cooks up cactus, that can be ok if it's cooked right, otherwise it's slimy.

| This talk of odd foods reminds me of Spike Milligan's story of when he was in Africa during the war. The cook in his unit made a pie for their unpopular officer. The pie was made with goat droppings - quite plentiful in that area. The officer liked the pie and wanted more... ;-) |

You can tell when you are in the "Deep South" when you go to a zoo, and the placards have the latin name, the local name, and a few great recipes for the critter in the cage.

National "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is September 19th, Matey, Arrrrrr......
Did you know that the eyepatch common to the image of "pirates" is not because they've lost an eye, but to shield one eye from cabin lights at night. They could step out, flip up the patch, and instant night vision. Arrrr...
Avast, there!

I believe the gold ring in their ear was to cover the cost of their burial if they died at sea. ...wait? does that make sense? wouldn't they be lost if the ship went down in those days? |

Phoenix is full of 24 hour taco stands, true Mexican taco stands. Food of the Gods I think. |

LOL, that reminds me of the part in the Adamms Family when Wednsday asks if the girl scout cookies are made from real girl scouts.
All this talk about Mexican food, has made me hungry for enchiladas darn it! |

Yes, the gold ring was to pay Davey Jones.

| Okay so there is NO Cola (cocaine) in Coca Cola They stopped that back in the 30's I worked with the DEA and it's a VERY big myth. As far as there being 1 million ants to every person... yeah I'm going to have to say you need to revise those figures because I've wiped out at least 2 BILLION of the little F er's myself My poop floats once in a while and can't lick my elbow, my thumb is not the same size as my nose |

OK, this Mexican will now no longer eat at Taco Bell. Crotch-O-Smell just completely turned me off. |

Absolutely... So is San Diego. But even so I saw plenty of Mexicans, or at least Chicanos, in Taco Bell. I guess we can quibble and say a Chicano/a isn't a "real Mexican"? maybe that would work :-)
As far as Food of the Gods, I couldn't agree with you more. The only thing I really miss, after moving to Cape Cod, is access to good, inexpensive Mexican cooking. We have ONE Taco Bell, 11 miles from me, and that's IT. There is NO other Mexican fast food at all, and only two Mexican restaurants I am aware of. One of them, Sam Diego's, is the worst sort of gringo-mex and I can't stand it. The other is so-so, I go there every now and then but it's not the real thing.
So I cook my own Mexican. It's really hard to find a good tortilla, and a pain to make my own, but on the whole I manage...
