"There is almost nothing special to eat based on the different seasons of the year. Basically, they like sweet, high fat, high calories things."
Go to U.S. supermarkets or restaurant chains, you will find this is mostly correct.
Went to Olive Garden a couple of days ago, had some pork that was nicely cooked, but drenched in some kind of sugary syrup. It would have been much improved by eliminating the sauce entirely.
You even have to look closely at the ingredients when buying "Mexican" salsa or hot sauce. I sometimes get these home before discovering sugar on the ingredient list. Adding sugar to something meant to be hot and spicy totally perplexes me.
