Mabon Feast contribution
Aug. 15th, 2004 10:13 amI am bringing flan to our Mabon feasts.
I am doing so in honor of Armed Forces of National Liberation, the clandestine arm of the 1970s Puerto Rican Left (sister to the Black Power Movement), whose terrorist actions on behalf of Puerto Rican liberation and civil rights placed its operatives on the FBI's most wanted lists for over almost a decade.
And whose Spanish-derived acronym was : FALN, which will inevitably be pronounced......
Yes, the armed and extremely dangerous radical Puerto Rican movement had the same name as an egg custard.
P.S. Thank you, Patrick and Maggie, for the inspiration.
