The Pastry War of 1838 arose from the widespread civil disorders that plagued the early years of the Mexican republic.
Coming to its citizen's aid, France demanded 600,000 pesos in damages, and when the payment was not forthcoming, sent a fleet to declare a blockade of all Mexican ports from the Yucatan to the Rio Grande, to bombard the Mexican fortress of San Juan de Ulua[?], and to seize the port of Veracruz.
In a skirmish, Santa Anna was wounded in a leg, which had to be amputated, but before his forces were able to accomplish anything effective, President Anastasio Bustamante[?] promised to pay the 600,000 pesos, and the French forces withdrew.

A restaurant offering such a delicacy would be most unlikely to put it on the 99 cent or dollar menu.
