Tamales were one of my worries about moving here. My mother ALWAYS had tamales on Christmas Eve but it was one of the Mexican foods she didn't make. I debated on having them shipped from Delicious in San Antonio but waited too long. My husband found some nice ladies from Mexico to make us some(I'm assuming here--perhaps another Central or South American country). He loved the tamales but they were a bit too large and "masa-y" for me. Also, I can't locate the pork ones which, in my lack of gourmet taste, are really my favorites. So I guess I'm going to be learning to make a new dish between now and next Christmas. Considering how well my fudge and pecan pie turned out today, we'll probably all end up in the hospital
If anyone found some good tamales please let us all know!
