Aztec Cannibalism
Cortés wrote in one of his letters that his
soldiers had captured an Aztec who had a
roasted baby ready for
breakfast. (Reeves 1986)
Gomarra, reported that during the siege of
Tenochtitlan, the Spaniards had asked the
Aztecs to surrender since they had no food. The
Aztecs answered, asking the Spaniards to try to
attack, so they could be taken as prisoners, and
then served with "molli" sauce.
Aztec Cannibalism
Juan Bautista de Pomar states that after the sacrifice, the
body of the victim was given to the warrior resposible of
the capture, he would boil the body to be able to cut small
pieces of meat, to be offered as gifts to important people in
exchange for presents and slaves, but it was rarely eaten,
since they considered it had no value; instead it was
replaced by turkey, or just thrown away. It is at least
interesting that the one account by an Aztec and the
account by a "meztizo" of supposed cannibalism following
ritual sacrifice claim that the apparent cannibalism was a
sham. This is congruent with the Laurette Séjourné and
Miguel León-Portilla's theory that the upper classes were
aware that the religion created by Tlacalel was something
of a forgery. (Leon -Portilla,1963)
