Bisbee Gal 1,493 Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 2 hours ago, RVGRINGO said: In the Middle East, the original would have been made with lamb; definitely not pork. These Lebanese immigrants came to Mexico in the 1930s; at that time Lebanon was a predominantly Christian nation. While lamb is traditional throughout the Middle East, pork was not banned in Lebanon at that time. https://en.annahar.com/article/1002964-new-report-reveals-substantial-demographic-changes-in-lebanon Quote The latest official census conducted in 1932 indicated that the Lebanese population totaled 875,252 people, while Muslims made up 40% of the community and Christians 58.7%. The recent report shows that Christians make up 30.6% of the community, while Muslims make up 69.4%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go Solar 716 Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Got it, good job even from a bad photo. A nice 1/2 day outing for those at lakeside, including the lancha trip back and forth, a historic tour on the isla, some time in Mezcala centro / plaza and the museum if it is open, and hitting Focaccia as well.
