I don't know why Cinco de (Taco) Mayo gets so much attention here. In Mexico, it's more of a regional holiday in the state of Puebla, as it commemorates the defeat of the French army in the Battle of Puebla.

Mexico's bigger, and most important holiday is September 16: Mexican Independance Day. That was the day of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in Dolores made the Grito de Dolores (Cry of Pain or Battle Cry), and declared a revolt against the Spanish govt.

We Americans are lead to believe that May 5 is their July 4, but that's probably just a conspiracy so they can joke about how dumb we gringos are.

Dies y seis de Septiembre just doesn't have the same ring to it though (and may not be spelled right either!)

Plus what we call "Mexican" food is really only the food of one small region, much of Mexico is on the coasts, and they tend to do more seafood.

It seems appropriate to post this here.

Andrew Peterson is one of our favorite singers period, whether silly or spiritual.

They may not eat tacos, but don't be mistaken:

¡Las tortillas no pueden faltar en la mesa mexicana! (Tortillas cannot be missing from the Mexican table!)

¡Andale!
