A lord tests the heat of his chocolate in this painting on a Late
Classic Maya vase from

note tamales (Maize cakes), covered with chocolate-chile sauce below
him.
"And so they were happy over the provisions of the good mountain,
filled with sweet things, . . . thick with pataxte and cacao. . . the rich
foods filling up the citadel named Broken Place, Bitter Water Place".
