Speaker 1: Brucas and bombiles. I love this topic, I think, I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe all Latinos do. But I love scary stories.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I love like legends like Lord Go Go.
Speaker 2: I forgot about that at all. I don't know about
Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I like.
Speaker 1: I do like legends. I'm not like a scary movie person.
Speaker 1: Neither of my like gory stuff. Now that freaks me out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I do like like bru cousin like I love.
Speaker 1: I love folk tales, but specifically Latino folk tales. I
Speaker 1: feel like they're deeper.
Speaker 2: They're terrifying.
Speaker 1: Did your mom, you're gonna go out at me? Go
Speaker 1: ahead and stay out after men, I might go on,
Speaker 1: I might get you. And then I was like, and
Speaker 1: I was such a good kid because I'm scared of
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: I remember when we were kids. I must have been
Speaker 2: like maybe ten years old. We went to one on
Speaker 2: a trip, on a family trip, and we took a
Speaker 2: tour of the cobblestone street and they it wasn't in
Speaker 2: my head. It was at nighttime and they told the
Speaker 2: story of La and I don't.
Speaker 1: I still don't sleep because of her. I still don't.
Speaker 1: My dad swears she she's appeared to him, my dad swears,
Speaker 1: my mom swears, my grandma swear like, oh I saw
Speaker 1: law you don't know. I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: It's fun that this episode's all about embracing the spooky.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited and we're going to talk about stories
Speaker 2: but also how some of these stories connect to food
Speaker 2: and drink.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Halloween. My name is Eva.
Speaker 3: Longoria and I am Myra and welcome to Hungry for History,
Speaker 3: a podcast that explores our past and present through food.
Speaker 3: On every episode, we'll talk about the history of some
Speaker 3: of our favorite dishes, ingredients, and beverages from our.
Speaker 1: Culture, So make yourself at home. When I feel like
Speaker 1: there's so much we know about the Salem Witch Trials,
Speaker 1: but not a lot about Latin America, and I think
Speaker 1: women had to have been persecuted as which is in
Speaker 1: Latin America and Mexico too, because we're definitely healers and
Speaker 1: healers of the land and that was looked you know,
Speaker 1: that was frowned upon.
Speaker 2: And food centric magic features prominently in the Lores of
Speaker 2: Witches in the sixteen hundred, So like the Sale and
Speaker 2: Witch Trials, which you just mentioned. So if the butter
Speaker 2: didn't churn or if the bread had mold, the only
Speaker 2: logical explanation was black magic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the women were responsible for all of this.
Speaker 1: So the women were responsible mostly for food production. So
Speaker 1: if anything went wrong with that or good, yes, they
Speaker 1: could be considered a witch exactly.
Speaker 2: A witch and a threat to social you know, hierarchy.
Speaker 2: We talked about this a little bit during our beer
Speaker 2: episode last season.
Speaker 1: Yes, remind people of that. So it was where the
Speaker 1: witches hat comes from.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the witches had it with women were brewers,
Speaker 2: and they were set up in the markets and they
Speaker 2: would wear a pointy hat so that people could see
Speaker 2: that I.
Speaker 1: Could see where the beer was being sold. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: and only women brewed the beer. And so that's why
Speaker 1: they had the pointy hat. And that's where a witch's
Speaker 1: brew came from and a witch's hat. So I always
Speaker 1: thought that that was interesting. But you know, I'm going
Speaker 1: you should come. I'm going to Galicia in my Searching
Speaker 1: for Spain series, and that's another origin country of witches. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bligedaleic Celtic. Is that why it's called Anisia because of
Speaker 1: the Gaelic influence. Yeah, I had no idea how Celtic influence,
Speaker 1: very Irish influenced. Fascinating. Yeah, And they'd have the biggest
Speaker 1: witch festival in summer Solstice June twenty fifth this year
Speaker 1: and they do this huge bonfires on the beach and
Speaker 1: all these rituals and how cool. My point is it
Speaker 1: must have come from Latin America because of colonization, Like
Speaker 1: the Spanish Inquisition was like established what in the late
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred, yes, for the eighteen hundreds, so between then,
Speaker 1: not only thousands of Muslims and Jews were killed for
Speaker 1: their religious beliefs, but there must have been like women
Speaker 1: that were associated with sorcery or witchcraft during that time
Speaker 1: that were targets of Spain and the Inquisition.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and the Inquisition actually came to Mexico and it
Speaker 2: was actually instituted in Mexico in fifteen seventy one, in
Speaker 2: Mexico and in Guatemala as well, and it took different
Speaker 2: targets from the Spain. So it was Jews and Muslims
Speaker 2: in Spain, and here it was also witchcraft, sexual activities,
Speaker 2: drug abuse. And this is where the food comes in chocolate.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's right, because in last season's Hungry
Speaker 1: First three, in the Chocolate episode, we talked about chocolate
Speaker 1: being this like plant based food, which the seed of
Speaker 1: the cucaas is dried, it's toasted, then it's like ground
Speaker 1: with spices and and then it changes into something new.
Speaker 1: And the drink, because it was mostly a drink and
Speaker 1: it was pretty bitter. It was reserved for priests and aristocrats,
Speaker 1: and the cacao seeds were used as currency, and chocolate
Speaker 1: was really special. It was also used medicinally, and so
Speaker 1: people thought it was magical and it was sacred. And
Speaker 1: so a common spice used in chocolate by the mines
Speaker 1: was achiote, which turned the drinker's mouth red because achiota
Speaker 1: is that red seeds now like that, yeah, ano, it's
Speaker 1: also called a nato. And it looked like they were
Speaker 1: drinking blood when they would drink this hot chocolate. Yeahpa
Speaker 1: thought it was like bad, bad influence chocolate drinkers.
Speaker 2: Sad influence with the red chocolate, and it was an aphrodisiac.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing. So and that's witchcraft right there, exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, this is where we start seeing you know, if
Speaker 2: you even if you think about it, it's the myth
Speaker 2: that they're with the chocolate and the all of these
Speaker 2: spices in there, and they're just grinding it so east
Speaker 2: and then it's a liquid, and then it's it's magic.
Speaker 1: It's magic.
Speaker 2: It's basically literally, it's literally magic.
Speaker 1: And women always prepared the chocolate.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is key. Women always prepare the chocolate. By
Speaker 2: the time we get to the seventeenth and eighteenth century,
Speaker 2: chocolate was available to everybody. So pre conquest it was
Speaker 2: only reserved for nobility, the aristocracy, and it was had
Speaker 2: all of these spices cut to Post conquest, it was
Speaker 2: available for everybody.
Speaker 1: Every social class, every ethnic group, indigenous, Baniard, African, mixed,
Speaker 1: it was everybody.
Speaker 2: And it was still consumed with water, but it was
Speaker 2: available for everybody, still made by hand in a meta day.
Speaker 2: But it's dark and grainy, and so it provides this
Speaker 2: ideal environment to hide potions in it.
Speaker 1: Oh, you could like poison somebody.
Speaker 2: And this is what a lot of the Inquisition in
Speaker 2: Mexico were targeting women who were making potions.
Speaker 1: Because they thought they were Brujas, the Bruhaus through chocolate specifically,
Speaker 1: and I think that is so fascinating, fascinating.
Speaker 2: So there are a few stories of so called brujas.
Speaker 2: My favorite is the one of Juan de Fuent then
Speaker 2: Cecilia the Ariola. So in most cases women made the chocolate,
Speaker 2: but in this story, it involves a man on August eighteen,
Speaker 2: sixteen ninety five, Juan de fund that complained to the
Speaker 2: inquisition authorities that his wife bewitched him with sorcery. So
Speaker 2: he was a thirty three year old Mulatto construction worker
Speaker 2: denouncing his Mulata wife, Cecilia, and he charged her by
Speaker 2: casting spells and curses so quote unquote, so that he
Speaker 2: could not be a man on all the occasions that
Speaker 2: he desired to have intercourse with his weight.
Speaker 1: So he was suffering from a rectile dysfunction, and he
Speaker 1: blamed that his wife was using sorcery on him to
Speaker 1: keep his his wee wee limb exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: Of course, that's the only explaination, the only explanation. And
Speaker 2: also he would prepare the chocolate when women would prepare
Speaker 2: the chocolate, so he was accusing her of poisoning him
Speaker 2: and shifting the gender roles because it was unnatural that
Speaker 2: he was preparing the morning chocolate while his wife slept,
Speaker 2: So he was accusing her of everything. Cecilo was interrogated,
Speaker 2: she was convicted by the Inquisition and then she denounced
Speaker 2: dozens of women practicing witchcraft and was sent to Central
Speaker 2: Jail in Mexico City. And according to this really great
Speaker 2: article called Chocolate, Sex and Disorderly Women in the late
Speaker 2: seventeenth and eighteen entry, this happened to my La. Even
Speaker 2: though she went to jail in Mexico City. She says
Speaker 2: that she took a few personal items with her, including chocolate,
Speaker 2: and everything about the case and everything that she did
Speaker 2: that they did. Everything is recorded how from the court
Speaker 2: from the court and it's digitized, and all of the
Speaker 2: documentation was online. That so crazy, it's crazy of her
Speaker 2: and other women.
Speaker 1: So we know.
Speaker 2: Oh, on August eighteenth, sixteen ninety five, he complained to
Speaker 2: his wife.
Speaker 1: There's so many stories, but it's always like it's all
Speaker 1: of these stories are basically men ratting on their wives
Speaker 1: because they don't want to be married anymore. So they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're a witch, and then the inquisition would come and
Speaker 1: take them away.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: No, that same guy that I just mentioned fun three
Speaker 1: days before married somebody else. Yeah, because her wife was
Speaker 1: out of the way. Of course, he did. But the
Speaker 1: crazy thing to me is the association between chocolate and
Speaker 1: disorderly behavior, Like that's just crazy to me. But it
Speaker 1: also extended to the elite Spanish women as well, and
Speaker 1: so there it wasn't just like the mulatos and the
Speaker 1: indigenous people. There was also it was it an englishman, yeah,
Speaker 1: who wrote about his travels, and he described a public
Speaker 1: confrontation between a bishop and an elite woman who insisted
Speaker 1: on drinking hot chocolate in church, which disrupted mass, and
Speaker 1: they boycotted cathedral services and protested the bishop's prohibition of chocolate.
Speaker 1: And then he became ill during the protests and died
Speaker 1: a week later. He was poisoned. And all these women
Speaker 1: were either killed or certain time in prison because they
Speaker 1: were like, for sure they did it, they did it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This one sounds like they did. They
Speaker 1: probably didn't. I don't blame them.
Speaker 2: They wanted to drink our chocolate. Hey, But it's so
Speaker 2: interesting because it was the elite women and they were
Speaker 2: they're the ones whose stories are documented because we don't
Speaker 2: see the mixed race, the indigenous swimmen, the African women.
Speaker 2: They were probably also using chocolate, but we don't have.
Speaker 2: We don't have records of them.
Speaker 1: So the other thing I remember growing up, did you
Speaker 1: ever get the O hole? Yes? Yes? And what is
Speaker 1: with the egg?
Speaker 2: The oh my god, the egg the egg like So.
Speaker 1: To this day, when I get sick, I'm like mom
Speaker 1: and my mom will do Does she do it? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: my mom does the egg and she doesn't our father
Speaker 1: and hail Mary and all my body and then I
Speaker 1: sleep it off. And then we cracked the egg in
Speaker 1: the water. And if it's cloudy in the morning, yeah,
Speaker 1: then it was an evil spirit inside of you. And
Speaker 1: if it's clear, then it wasn't illoho. Wasn't somebody who
Speaker 1: gave you the os? So interesting?
Speaker 2: When I was in China, did your.
Speaker 4: Mom do No?
Speaker 1: My mom was like, never mind, I don't wigs.
Speaker 2: When I was in high school in Moreedo, during lunch,
Speaker 2: we used to go across to normal rada, know and
Speaker 2: with my friends and we would often go toha. One
Speaker 2: time when we went and one of my friends went
Speaker 2: in and she did the webbo and then they cracked
Speaker 2: it and.
Speaker 1: It was black. Another thing I remember when my sister
Speaker 1: and I were riding her riding our bikes and she
Speaker 1: fell off and broke her arm, and I got so scared.
Speaker 1: I had to carry her back to the house, like
Speaker 1: down the block, and I was carrying her because she fainted.
Speaker 1: She passed out. So I get back to my house
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh my god, and they just like
Speaker 1: grab her and they take her to the hospital. And
Speaker 1: and I was just at home and I was so scared,
Speaker 1: like I had a susto and my grandma was like,
Speaker 1: give her sugar, give her sugar, and they made me
Speaker 1: take spoonfuls of sugar for the shock.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and you just kind of yeah, I was
Speaker 2: just there going like whenever she going to die?
Speaker 1: She broke her arm. I thought you were I thought
Speaker 1: she died. Yeah, I mean literally was, because you know,
Speaker 1: they like rushed out of the house and you know,
Speaker 1: is she gonna die? Mom and my grandma. I remember
Speaker 1: her shoving a spoonful of sugar in my mouth and
Speaker 1: I was like, what the hell. But I did read later,
Speaker 1: like recently, like why that it does, like that adrenaline
Speaker 1: of sugar changes your synapses. It has something to do.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was a folkgo and then I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, there's actually science behind that one. I
Speaker 1: can prove it, all right, so because it's Halloween, we
Speaker 1: felt it appropriate to start out by making vombiles. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what a vampido is. Yes, you've never
Speaker 1: had it. It's like a Mexican bloody mary. Okay, then
Speaker 1: I'm in. Yeah, it's amazing. The vampido. It is the
Speaker 1: national cultail of Mexico. Why it's not the margarita, it's
Speaker 1: the vampido is the national drink of medes. It says
Speaker 1: who who created it?
Speaker 2: Well, a man named Oscarednandez. He was a fruit vender
Speaker 2: in Jalisco, in a town called San Luiso. Yet lan
Speaker 2: he's selling from plastic bags with a strong size.
Speaker 1: I still do that, Yeah, sosas with in a plastic maggie.
Speaker 2: But it's red. So it's like your sucking blood, like
Speaker 2: a vampire. So we're going to start making a vampiedo.
Speaker 2: It has tequila, It has tomato juice, freshly squeezed, lime juice,
Speaker 2: fresh be squeezed orange juice, and grinity. Basco and grinity.
Speaker 2: So it's basically the tomato juice grenadine and the two
Speaker 2: juices is a sanity bat. So it's the bases, the
Speaker 2: sugity bat.
Speaker 1: Oh is it so?
Speaker 2: We're just gonna and make our vampiros because we have
Speaker 2: to drink vampios.
Speaker 1: If we're talking about of course.
Speaker 2: In folklore in various countries over the centuries, so not
Speaker 2: just in Mexico, but Persians, Babylonians, the Greeks, the Romans,
Speaker 2: the Mayans all had their own tails of thirsty beings
Speaker 2: with the taste for thick, warm blood. So some of
Speaker 2: these vampire like creatures in Latin America, there are a
Speaker 2: few of them. One of them is called Gamasots camas Gamasots. Well,
Speaker 2: he's sort of the most vampire like creature conjured up
Speaker 2: by the Mayans.
Speaker 1: It's a half fat, half human.
Speaker 2: With a blood thirsty temper, and he's known for tear
Speaker 2: the heads off of other gods and ferociously draining the
Speaker 2: blood from its victims. And in the Mayans Sacred Book,
Speaker 2: he is a bat like figure that acts as the
Speaker 2: guardian of the underworld and kills victims by decapitation.
Speaker 1: For real or for fake is the question? Scary stories
Speaker 1: are so scary? It comes from the Mayan, it comes
Speaker 1: from the mine.
Speaker 2: Well, the imagery of the Kamasots is actually based on
Speaker 2: a little vampire bats that are native to southern and
Speaker 2: Central America, and these vampire bats have large fangs that
Speaker 2: don't feed on insects or fruit like most bats feed
Speaker 2: on fruit. They only feed on blood, and so they
Speaker 2: use their fangs to slice into the skin of an
Speaker 2: animal and they lick the blood as it oozes out.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what that sounds like. That sounds like
Speaker 1: sweet potato.
Speaker 2: It's not, sir, it's not.
Speaker 1: Let's see.
Speaker 2: Okay, Halloween, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 1: That's delicious. That's good. So that was from the Mayans,
Speaker 1: that is from the mind. But the Aztecs have something similar, right, have.
Speaker 2: Something similar and scary. So among the Aztects, a woman
Speaker 2: in labor was said to capture the spirit of her
Speaker 2: newborn child, much like a warrior captures his opponent in battle.
Speaker 2: But if a woman died while giving birth, her own
Speaker 2: soul was transformed into a terrifying demon known as a sea.
Speaker 1: So she's kind of ala, kind of a Laurdana.
Speaker 2: Actually, some people say that the legend of the of
Speaker 2: the Yourana is based on a sea oh to have
Speaker 2: descended to Earth on five days during the Aztec calendar,
Speaker 2: and during these times they haunted crossroads in the hopes
Speaker 2: of snatching young children, the young children that they were
Speaker 2: never privileged to meet. So in order to keep their
Speaker 2: children safe, people would create shrines full of food at
Speaker 2: crossroads and the hope that these demons would be too
Speaker 2: busy eating to notice the sun because the seattle helped
Speaker 2: guide the sun. So she had a favorite food, uh huh,
Speaker 2: cakes in the shape of a butterfly. Okay, little tamales
Speaker 2: and toasted corn, so she.
Speaker 1: Would be too busy eating now, and then the sun
Speaker 1: would come up and she would ye. Basically basically, well,
Speaker 1: when we come back, we're still telling scary stories.
Speaker 2: Our spooky episode continues with a special guest, a fellow
Speaker 2: Texan and host of the podcast Whole This is a
Speaker 2: great title, I'd wait for history.
Speaker 1: He sat down with Aiden Castillano's host of Still, a
Speaker 1: podcast based on South Texas, lay in Banks and Spooky.
Speaker 2: Stories, Enjoy This Halloween Inspire to interview Aiden. I'm so
Speaker 2: excited to meet you. Hi.
Speaker 4: Likewise, both Eva.
Speaker 2: And I are from South Texas and you're from South Texas.
Speaker 2: I came across your podcast and I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I've been listening to it every morning when
Speaker 2: I walk my dog. I introduced your podcast to Eva
Speaker 2: and so it's just very, very exciting. How did you
Speaker 2: get interested in spooky stories?
Speaker 4: Susto itself for people who don't know, but I feel
Speaker 4: like if they're listening to Hunger for History, they shouldn't know, right.
Speaker 4: Is it's a cultural illness where after a big scare
Speaker 4: or something traumatic, the soul separates itself from the body,
Speaker 4: and if it's a severe enough scare or trauma, the
Speaker 4: soul can even fragment, and there's different remedies for it
Speaker 4: based on who you're talking to. For me, growing up,
Speaker 4: it was sugar, a spoonful of sugar in a glass
Speaker 4: of water, and if we had susto, we had to
Speaker 4: mix it up and then chug that. Growing up, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm also from South Texas like both of you, and
Speaker 4: I just heard all of these stories growing up. They
Speaker 4: were always being told to us, whether it was at
Speaker 4: you know, family barbecues late at night when people were
Speaker 4: starting to leave and it was dark and okay, it
Speaker 4: suddenly it turned into okay, who saw the devil last?
Speaker 4: And so I just kept hearing these stories growing up,
Speaker 4: and even in the schools. There's a book that I
Speaker 4: think a lot of us in South Texas know of
Speaker 4: it's the stories that must not die. And this book
Speaker 4: had all these stories. It had stories of Lichusa's Layoora,
Speaker 4: the girl who danced with the Devil, all of these
Speaker 4: spooky stories that were collected in South Texas and they
Speaker 4: were reading them to us in elementary But it wasn't
Speaker 4: purely to scare the life out of us. They were
Speaker 4: teaching us reading comprehension because these stories were in English
Speaker 4: and Spanish.
Speaker 2: So what is the story. I don't know the story
Speaker 2: of a girl that danced with the devil?
Speaker 4: In nineteen eighty nine, I believe it was in McAllen, Texas.
Speaker 4: There was a young woman who was from a very
Speaker 4: pious family. They're very religious, and she was kind of
Speaker 4: sheltered and she was never allowed to go out, definitely
Speaker 4: not alone, but especially to I guess places of ill repute,
Speaker 4: we'll say. And she decided one night to sneak out
Speaker 4: with her friends and to go to a dance, to
Speaker 4: go to Bocachio two thousand and she was out and
Speaker 4: from one moment to the next, this stranger appeared out
Speaker 4: of nowhere and approached her, and she was completely taken
Speaker 4: by him. He was handsome, nobody in her group knew
Speaker 4: who he was. He was very suave and mysterious, and
Speaker 4: he approached her and he asked her to dance, and
Speaker 4: she said yes. So they're dancing and dancing, and you know,
Speaker 4: she's having a great time. She says, this is what
Speaker 4: my family kept me from. I'm having a good time.
Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything bad. I'm just dancing right. And
Speaker 4: before she realizes it, she can start to hear the
Speaker 4: crowd freaking out. People are screaming, they're terrified, and so
Speaker 4: she's looking around and she noticed, say, is that they're
Speaker 4: all looking at her. They're all pointing at her partner,
Speaker 4: her dance partner. She looks closely and she sees that
Speaker 4: they're screaming and they're pointing at his feet. Look at
Speaker 4: his feet, Look at his feet. And she looks down
Speaker 4: and she sees that he has one goat's tough and
Speaker 4: one chickens talan. She'd been dancing with the devil.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: So in a cloud of smoke, he disappears. All that's
Speaker 4: left on her burn marks from where he held her,
Speaker 4: and the smarrill sulfur, and nobody saw him leaves.
Speaker 2: Are there any folk tales specific, Are there any foods
Speaker 2: that you see in these stories?
Speaker 4: Not really a story, but a piece of advice that
Speaker 4: I heard growing up from one of my uncles. He
Speaker 4: lives on a ranch land, and he said that he
Speaker 4: would get visited by the tusas sometimes as owls or
Speaker 4: in their human forms, and that he would offer he
Speaker 4: would offer them chilas if they showed up. Was an owl,
Speaker 4: and he thought this owl might be able to choicell er,
Speaker 4: I don't know, if he wanted to test it out.
Speaker 4: He would offer them chilas, the chili pickings from the bush,
Speaker 4: and that he would throw it out so the owl
Speaker 4: would eat it, and that if the owl ate it
Speaker 4: and it did not react, then it was simply just
Speaker 4: an owl. It was just a bird. But if it
Speaker 4: did react, if it had a reaction to the spiciness
Speaker 4: of the chila, then it was actually a human. It
Speaker 4: was a brucha. And I never understood that white he
Speaker 4: told me this. I was like, what is the reason
Speaker 4: for that white chilas? And then I learned a few
Speaker 4: years ago that birds don't react to capsaicin, which is
Speaker 4: the enzymer or the chemical or whatever that makes chila
Speaker 4: spicy to humans and so I don't know if my
Speaker 4: uncle knew this or maybe he did, but yeah, that's
Speaker 4: why people will put chilas in their bird seed so
Speaker 4: that the squirrels won't get to it, because birds aren't
Speaker 4: affected by that chemical. And so that was his way
Speaker 4: of testing out is this really just an owl litusa
Speaker 4: or is it ausa? So everybody key some chila's in
Speaker 4: your pockets just in case you come across a litusa
Speaker 4: that might.
Speaker 1: Be a brou so interesting.
