But it also became manly party food all at the same time.I explain why its ox, not cow - but will be cow again.Here's Bugs Bunny in the Bull Fighting Ring - nostalgia or new? Just watch it. It's all fun.https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7yzp40Not up on yourColonial History of New Spain? Here's a cheat sheet on Coronado - https://www.desertusa.com/desert-trails/coronado-expedition-cibola.htmlAnd one on Oñate (just wikipedia, but hey I have deadlines here) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_O%C3%B1ateAnd the Boat Stuck reference was to the Ever Forward getting stuck in the Chesapeake in March 2022 (for 5 weeks!).
