A woman came into the store the other day and was selling tamales for $6 for a bag of 6. I was hungry as shit so I bought a bag of the beef tamales.
I gotta say in all honesty they were slammin good. I ate four of em and gave two to my girl Marra next door. I'm hooked.

I think we can all agree the contributions the Mexicans have given us via culinary offerings is invaluable. Tacos, fajitas, tamales, mr sunshine, burritos, quesadillas. I for one think taco Tuesday should be a national holiday. I might start a useless government petition.

Indeed. Without the availability of Mexican cuisine, our lives would be mundane and meaningless; just marking time thru a souless existence, yearning to be one with the entropy we are denied.

We made tamales from scratch last year. I see now why they are made in huge batches. Lots of work

I am a tamale rookie. This is my first attempt and success I would say. Could've spiced them up a little more.

Sweet tamales sound good but I don't do coconut. Maybe raisins, cinnamon and cream cheese?

I hate this thread. I wake up at noon.....ish, and its the first thing i see and i want to fist tamales into my face. Then i wander to the kitchen and make terrible food choices for my breakfast..er..brunch.......lunch, well early dinner i guess....first meal of the day
i think im going to make quesadillas in a because i have no tamales. My mouth is watering so bad and telling me to feed it tamales though.

I gotta get me some tamales in a few days. My baker is a 4' Mexican lady and she can make some mean ones. The pork with salsa verde are my fav. But I gotta get some, this thread made me hungry.

Im slow cooking some chicken right now and im going to soak some dried chiles and mix it into the shredded chicken and fat and smash it between tortillas and pretend its a tamale later. If it wasnt "busy" time id be making some real ones. Damn you and your tasty thread sunshine.
