A Gift of Tamales
Tamales, well made ones, would be my Death Row food. The spiced meat complimented by the mild outer masa covering can't be beat. I was lucky enough to receive these from one of Mrs. Phos's friends. As far as I am concerned, this is what the South West is all about, if the Southwest had a taste, this would be it...

I don't like spicy food.
Problem with tamales is I can eat about 2 dozen and not feel that full.
They sure are good though. I like mine for breakfast with fried eggs and ranchero sauce on top.

hammer: Sounds good, breakfast of champions!!!
no wonder you love those tamales with their not too subtle erotic contours. Maybe it's just pervy me. Carry on.

Never had one - sounds like I must.
i luuuurve SPICY FOOD!
Spice-girl-Keshi. LOL!
Death Row food? Are you planning something we need to be worried about, or just speaking hypothetically?
Yum!! I LOVE Tamales.. and yes they are a South West treat but here in South Florida we have them as well...my Mother In Law is Cuban and she makes a marvelous Tamale...
dang, now I'm hankering for one..
pk:We'll they're pret near good as sex...
/t.: Too slow on the mouse button!
sj: Every culture seems to have something similar, but it is hard to beat the real thing. Beware supermarket tamales or tamales in a can, they tend to be pretty horrid.
keshi: Curry: not just for breakfast anymore!!
SL: here may be some openings on our HOA board here shortly...
leelee: Lots of tasty Caribbean food. Lots of big flavors. Oddly enough my first tamale was in Panama, it was pretty nasty. Fortunately I decided to give them another chance and have never looked back.
I really need to travel.......don't think I've even ever SEEN one of those before - what IS that outer cover? Looks like flax or something?
Phos,
What are the exact "good" and "proper" parts of a tamale?
What kind of outter coat is that?
How do you spice the meat?
Is there cheese in those?
Are they fried, baked?
I have never had a Tamale that I enjoyed so I know I must be getting some kind of bastardized hybrid american crap of a tamale. Teach me the way of the Tamale please.
