What is the syrup of Guadalajara?
I have been to Guadalajara and it would seem logical to me that the syrup is raw agave nectar from the maguey plant that is used to make tequila. This syrup is sweeter than maple syrup and the "sugar" index is much lower than that of cane sugar - so - it's better for you. It also tastes great and is readily available at specialty food stores like "Whole Foods." Good on cereal, toast, mixed drinks, etc. Use it in place of any maple syrup, cane sugar, refined sugar, or honey.

If you get married in Mexico on a US Navy ship is the marriage valid?
It depends on who performed the ceremony and whether or not it was done under military law/custom.
United States Naval ships are considered US territory, just as a US Embassy is considered US soil in a foreign nation. Therefore, a marriage ceremony, conducted legally on a commissioned Naval ship by proper authority, is valid and binding.
Note the term "commissioned" Naval ship. Ceremonial ships don't count. The ceremony must have been performed by a Chaplain or the Commanding Officer also - only those personnel are authorized to perform a marriage ceremony on board a ship.

What food can't you take to Mexico?
When entering Mexico, you can't bring with you any kind of plants, fruits, vegetables or any other kind of organic matter (seeds, soil samples, sandwiches, etc.). Only canned and vacuum-packed foods are allowed, with the exception on pork on any variation (for example, spam is not allowed). You can bring with you up to 5 litres (1.32 gallons) of wine or any alcoholic beverages, but if you surpass the specified quantity, you will have to pay a small fee due to import rights.
If you don't declare any of these when entering Mexico and the customs officer finds out, the items will be confiscated an you can get a fine that can cost you much more than the actual price of the item.
Did France set up a naval blockade when Mexico refused to pay its debt to European countries?
Yes: France, Spain and England set up a naval blockade and landed troops on the Mexican port city of Veracruz. However, Mexico didn't refuse to pay; it just didn't have the money to pay, and at the time, most European countries behaved as a loan shark: you either pay your debts, or they would break your legs.
As a consequence of the large indebtedness acquired after both the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the Reform Wars (1857-1861), the Mexican government faced such economic difficulties that president Benito Juarez suspended interest payments to foreign countries on July 17th, 1861. This angered France, Spain and England, who united their efforts to apply gunboat diplomacy on Mexico, and force it to continue with these payments. On December 8th of the same year, the Spanish fleet and troops from Spanish-controlled Cuba arrived at Mexico's main Gulf port, Veracruz.
Juarez negotiated the terms of such payments at the "La Soledad Preliminaries"; while Spain and England were satisfied and pulled their troops from the region, France wasn't interested in such debt: they were interested in conquering Mexico to prevent the rising of the United States as a world power by establishing a foothold in the Americas, and supporting the Confederate forces during the American Civil War (1861-1865). As a secondary objective, France was interested in exploiting the large silver, copper and iron mines located on northern Mexico.
On March 6th, 1862 5,000 French troops arrived to Veracruz, letting know friends and foes alike that France was in for the conquest of Mexico. The United States weren't able to protest until May 6th of 1862, but by that date, the legendary Battle of Puebla or Cinco de Mayo (May 5th, 1862) had already taken place.

What does the battle of Puebla represent for Mexicans?
It was an astonishing victory for Mexico, at a time when the French army was considered the best in the world, and hadn't been defeated for more than 50 years. It was also the first time Mexico had won against such odds (4500 Mexicans vs. 6500 Frenchmen). It was also important because the rest of the world expected a quick defeat for Mexico; instead it marked the beginning of a relatively long war (1861-1867) which at the end, was lost by France.
