His aliment is the same as the comestible goods for human beings: tamales and corn. Nevertheless, the food that is prepared for the offering to Zithu is not of quite the same texture as the one humans eat in their world: the tamales are of mud and the corn is represented by vetches cooked without salt. This discrepancy is due to the fact that the aliment is prepared and offered in a space – time netherworld that is inverse to the humans’ world.Lourdes Baez CuberoCentre de Recherches sur les Mondes AméricainsarticlefoodotomísalterityofferingritualancestorsAnthropologyGN1-890Latin America.
