*Mezcal is an alchoholic beverage made from the agave plant
**Literally: Bad faith: wishing ill on other people
***Mole is a very thick sauce used in Mexican cuisine in which many ingridients are ground and then mixed together. There are many styles of mole ranging from sweet to hot, and also the colour ranges through the red spectrum. It is usually cooked with pork or poultry.
+Moledera (o) is an alteration to the world molinero: Miller. A moledero is a person who grinds and works with chocolate (chocolate is an important part of a traditional mole).
++No! For those Animal rights activists she is not talking about real bulls being set on fire. A torito is a contraction likened to a bull with fireworks attached all over it. A person will be the torito (it fits on the shoulders, it's almost like a costume) and runs amok amidst the crowd while burning the fireworks (it's a lot of fun).
+++Monte Albán is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.
