Listeros,
Archaeological investigations at the site of Joya El Ceren in El
Salvador has found that yucca has been used by the Maya in that area
going back 1,400 years. Yucca plantations have been found undedr 14
layers of ash from the volcano that destroyed El Ceren in ancient
times. Beans, squash, cacao, guava and chile have also been found
buried under the ash.
INAH has the story here;

In the "you never know what you will learn where" category, I watched Food
Network Bobby Flay throwdown yesterday with two brothers who run an authentic
Mexican restaurant in the US. It seems not only are cactus edible they come in
many tastes and textures and are used throughout Mexican cuisine. Yuccas
aren>t a cactus but if one knows of the food uses of cactus then eating yucca
should be expected rather than a news item.
