Stripper's Guide: Herriman Saturday

Herriman Saturday

July 12 1909 -- The Elks are in town for a convention, and the LA newspapers always blow out all the stops in welcome. Herriman contributes a page-long cartoon to commemorate their shenanigans.

Herriman has several times now used the term "appajava", this time in relation to fiery Mexican food. I assume this is a corruption of a Spanish term, but can't think of what it would be. Ideas?

How likely is it that "appajava" might be a humorous corruption of the word "empanada?"
