>>182532 The Aztecs only domesticated two animals, dogs and turkeys, both of which were eaten (usually only at feasts). Dogs were well fed (enlarge the main picture to see what on...). Above all the Aztecs enjoyed eating small, hairless, mute dogs brought to Aztec markets from the town of Acolman - the 'itzcuintli', a relative of the chihuahua (Pic 1). Though meat was a relative luxury, the Aztec diet was 'ample, nutritious and well-balanced', in part at least thanks to some unusually efficient and nutritious foods: the Aztecs were anything but fussy - they ate 'practically every living thing that walked, swam, flew or crawled...' (Professor Bernard Ortiz de Montellano).
And this is why we mexicans are not very picky with what we eat.
