From Lady Elena de la Palma, Event Steward:

I’m excited to share the dayboard menu Lady Magdalena Txoperena has created for the A&S Faire and Queen’s Prize Tourney.

This dayboard explores Aztec cuisine at the time of Spanish arrival in the early 16th century. Recipes are sourced from descriptions of the foodstuffs, cuisine, and recipes provided by the arriving Spanish and Aztec sources, including first-person narratives from Bernal Diaz del Castillo, conquistador alongside Hernan Cortez and later author of The True History of the Conquest of New Spain, and Fray Bernardino de Sahagun, a Spaniard who moved to New Spain in 1529 and continued to study and write extensively about all aspects of Aztec daily life (including food) for the next 50 years. Additional information about the research behind the food will be available at the Faire.
