Sorry, Emilie.  That was supposed to be a humorous remark about our
diverse genetic make up in Mexico in reference to all the different

I was just trying to find an equivalent expression to "heinz 57" in

Capirotada is a typical sweet Mexican dessert made up of a lot of
ingredients, as Joseph remembers.
