Do y'all have Piñatas?

Growing up in the 70's in New England, we didn't have much of a Mexican influence. Tacos were basically unheard of in Maine in the 70's. You couldn't even buy the ingredients in the grocery store. It wasn't until the late 70's that the taco adds on TV (dueling kids shouting "I like making them!" "I like eating them!") brought tacos to us. After that, we were easting tacos at least once a week. It was probably around then that I saw my first pinata.

That's how it works. First, the tacos, then the pinatas. Next thing you know the Feds are raiding your town because it has become an offical immigration haven.
