> Bernal Diaz del Castillo, a member of Cortez’ troops, described among the many astonishing items that he saw in the market of Tenochtitlan (today's Mexico City) “. . . small cakes made from a sort of a ooze which they get out of the great lake, and from which they make a bread having a flavour something like cheese.” A few years later, a Franciscan friar, Bernardino da Sahagiin, described how fishermen ... with very fine nets in certain periods of the year collect a soft thing that is created on the waters of the lagoons of Mexico, and which curdles, and it is not grass nor earth, rather like hay . . . of clear blue color, from which they make bread, that they eat cooked.” The natives called it Tecuitlatl, literally “rock shit”
