Horrible History - Aztec foods

I read a book Horrible History Angry - Aztecs, and I am interested in foods so I am going to write about Aztec foods. Aztecs are also called central american indians, and the lived in a land now called Mexico. The mayans lived near the Aztecs, and the mayans are the one who said that the world will end in dec.22, 2012. They had many strange cultures, but the most strange thing is the foods they ate.

There are some important Aztec foods, which affects modern foods.
1.spices - chilli pepper and curry
2.corns - popcorns, cornflakes
3.pumpkins - jack o lanterns
4.cacao - chocolate
5.turkey

They also had famous foods
tortillas
quesadillas
burritos


Now the most disgusting foods in the world

1.Toads - they had poison on their skin, so the Aztecs used skin as drugs
2.Lizards - they were hrd to catch, but very tasty
3.Ants - Aztecs ate them as snacks
4.Frogs - safer than toads, tastier than toads
5.Larva
6.Humans - warriors ate enemys after the fight ; they thought it gives them power to fight again
BONUS - mayans ate maggots   they sent children to get the nest of mud wasps
and inther was fresh young wasps(maggots),and they heated the nest and the maggots crawled out, and the mayans could have a hot crunchy snack
