| Summary: | Based on the author’s long-term fieldwork, this article examines different strategies for interpreting the use of ritual foods in indigenous regions.

It considers the preparation y distribution of certain foods in agricultural ceremonies, offerings for the dead, and exchange during marriages. Food in ritual contexts appears to be an area for cultural resistance to imposed modernization in Mexico today. |
