[Aztlan] 10 Maya foods that changed the world's eating habits

[Nick Hopkins]

Undue credit to the "Maya."  Note that not a single food name is Maya, most are from Nahuatl (a couple of Tainos), and some are not cultivated by the Maya (e.g., vanilla).  And the Maya can't really be given credit for domesticating all those plants, maybe none of them.  Looks to me like they're using "Maya" just for its drawing power and avoiding the more proper "Mesoamerica".  Cheap merchandising!
