Designing an interesting menu

I am doing an event in New Mexico.  Who here knows anything about New Mexico??? anyone? anyone?.  Knowing this I decided to design the opening dinner AROUND the history of New Mexico.  We are doing the cover of the menu with statistics of New Mexico and then inside we are telling the history of New Mexico and every other paragraph have a dish reflecting that bit of history.  I think the guests will find this interesting as we are taking them a culinary history of a state that none are too familiar with.

That is my story for now and I am sticking to it.
