Ever wondered what the Aztecs actually ate? Spoiler: it wasn’t just corn and chocolate.

In this deep dive into the bizarre, brilliant, and occasionally unsettling world of Aztec food, we explore everything from floating gardens and ritual stews to ant eggs, salamanders, and chili smoke punishments. Discover how the Aztecs used food not just for survival, but for ceremony, identity, and even cosmic balance.

From sacred cacao to edible effigies, this is history served hot — a full course of culinary anthropology with a side of dry humor. So grab your tortillas (corn, not wheat) and settle in for a journey through the kitchens, temples, and swamps of the Aztec Empire.
