But Americans have so few opportunities to stuff themselves and drink like crazy to honor another country that doesn't really care, that we're breaking tradition.
At least we think we are.
The holiday is Cinco de Mayo about which the least controversial thing to be said is that it means "May Five" en Español.
Marc Matsumoto understands this, of course, and so here he offers five untypical dishes with which to stuff yourselves and drink too much in a couple days: Horchata, a drink; Carne Asada (mmmmmmm Carne); Chicken Enchiladas; Chile Verde y Pastel de Tres Leches (and no, it's not those three college guys next door).
¡Comamos!
