Cinco de Mayo In Purrsuit of Flavors

 

It's time for In Purrsuit of Flavours sponsored by our pals at Easy Rider and kitties from Canadian Cats .

From Canadian Cats:

Our next In Purrsuit of Flavours comes out on May 5th. This is Cinco de Mayo Day. Now, I looked this up on Mr Goggle’s page cause he explained what Cinco de Mayo Day is. Cinco de Mayo Day is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. So this is why Cinco de Mayo Day is celebrated…well, I’ll be a lizard’s bad breath!

Anyway, to honour Cinco de Mayo Day we, meaning the Easy boys and us, will make the theme for May, Mexican. What can you dream up to present on this special day? You can make an appetizer, veg, bread, drinks…..basically, anything edible with a Mexican twist is on the table……so to speak.
