Aztec influence in Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aztec influence in Spain can be seen in both the cuisine of Spain and in its architecture.
Guacamole, an avocado-based dip that was popular in Aztec cuisine as early as the 16th century, was brought back to Spain by the Conquistadors.[1] Its reputation as an aphrodisiac derives from the words that combine to form the word ahuaca-molli ("guacamole" in the Aztec language): molli meant "something mashed or pureed into a sauce" and as well as meaning "avocado" ahuacatl meant "testicle".[1]
