Black Tortillas Tuesdays and Saturdays

I have found a tortillería that offers black tortillas twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Of course, you can find black and yellow tortillas on market days, Monday, Thursday and Saturday, at el mercado.

In case you didn’t know, in Guatemala we have food days, meaning specific food on specific days. For instance, paches, potato-base tamales, on Thursday; tamales on Saturday, chiles rellenos and enchiladas on Sunday, chicharrones and carnitas on Thursday through Sunday. Does anyone know how or when this food schedule was decided and approved?
