NAVAJO "FRYBREAD"

FRYBREAD--7,510 Google hits, 1,860 Google Groups hits

   Still not in OED.  Not as "frybread," not as "fry bread," and not in the "Navajo" revision under "Of, relating to, or characteristic of the Navajos."
   Navajo "frybread" just made ProQuest's LOS ANGELES TIMES.

NACATAMALES

THROUGH UNKNOWN NICARAGUA:
THE ADVENTURES OF A NATURALIST ON A WILD-GOOSE CHASE
by Mervyn G. Palmer
London: Jarrolds Limited
1945

   Another cite, in case OED is interested.

Pg. 107:
   The owner of the ranch had shot a deer in the morning, so I had a good meal of venison-_nacatamales_, with coffee.  These nacatamales, or as the native word is frequently shortened into plain "Tamales," are an indigenous dish made by steaming together, in leaves, a mixture of maize-dough, rice, vegetables, spicing and meat, either chicken, pork or deer.  They are very handy to carry in their neat little packet of leaves done up like parcels and tied with a string or a strand of flexible bark, and are very savoury.

WAITRESS

   I re-checked on the TIMES OF LONDON database.  (Newspaperarchive doesn't have the full thing.)
   The 1818 "waitress" citations don't clearly deal with eating establishments, but the 1819 citations of "waitress" do.


   THE TIMES, April 6, 1818, pg. 4, col. A:
AS HOUSEMAID, Waitress, or Chambermaid, a young woman, aged 25.

   THE TIMES, October 24, 1818, pg. 3, col. F:

   THE TIMES, March 18, 1819, pg. 4, col. A:

   THE TIMES, October 25, 1819, pg. 4, col. A:
AS CHAMBERMAID in an Hotel or Tavern, or Waitress in a Chop-house or Eating-house, a young woman, aged 27, who can have 18 months' character from her last place.
