Anecdotal Notes
Diana
yellow/cream plumeria with a very intense frangipani fragrance from some very nice Maya people near Merida, the capital of the state of Yucatan. We visited a very small town and the market place was open. They were selling a drink made according to the Maya tradition with kernels of corn. The color was off white with a very strong starchy flavor, named "Chocolate". Luc found it in Chocolate, Mexico hence the name. Smells like gardenias.
