RE: [ranchos] Tamales

 
We called them tamales dulces.  They are pretty good.  Has anyone ever had tamales de elote?  Those are wonderful too.

Raisin Tamales. . .I thought my mom was the only one that made these.

Boy could I eat a dozen by myself right now (but not all Raisin). I
guess I'd have to say that Pork with lots of "gordo" on the meat are my
favorite. but I can't eat Tamales that have been cooked, cooled, frozen
and warmed up [well I guess I could]. I have to have mine fresh cooked.
Boy are they good.

I'd say that Tamales are my favorite food, then again I think I'd rather
have a big bowl of Menudo with lots of chopped onion, some oregano,
cilantro, and lemon juice and a tall pile! of flour tortillas (fresh made).

Can the next person flying to North Carolina bring me some tamales?

Solito aqui en Carolina del Norte,

joseph

ps: my mom's mom was from Jalisco. That is how this discussion of
Tamales fits in and stays on topic!
