Tamales?

[lg325]

So the tamales I have had in the past was meat filled cornmeal . Nothing like this. So I have been fooled all these years.

The corn husks?
Tamales usually have pork filling, but some are made with beef.
I have had deer tamales before also.

 

[lg325]

Yes, made with wild pork or deer. I have had them with a combo of beef and chicken. A cornmeal mix made into a thin patty seasoned meat added thenfolded over and deep fried. Once on the plate salsa poured over them.

Cumin is the main spice.
I like melted cheese on my tamales.

The husks are mainly just for preparation, makes em easier to roll up. I sup\\\\pose you could eat them, but I doubt they're yummy.

Now I'm craving a cheesy tamale and hate you ALL!

Tamales can be made with any number of fillings. Beef, pork, chicken, red sauce and green sauces and while these are the most popular, tamales are made to be sweet on certain holidays. How to Make Sweet Tamales | Tamales de Dulce | Mexican Recipes

We usually do beef,chicken or pork.
And tomatillo sauce or red sauce,roasted peppers make all the difference.

Eh?
Tamales are filled with any meat available.
As well as cheese and beans.
There is no traditional Tamale filling. The tradition was whatever you had on hand

My first wife was Mexican
Let me tell you about the Tamales her aunts made when visiting.
God they were awesome. Absolutely NOTHING like any I have had anywhere in any "Mexican" restaurant.
They were amazing. And took them all morning to make.
The ones made with Verde sauce I like the best. Which contrary to popular belief that it is made with green tomatoes, it is made with roasting Tomatillos, a very popular fruit in Mexico that is not a tomato, just looks like green tomatoes.

Isn't a tamale about the same thing as an Italian polenta or risotto, depending on which grain it's made of?

deep fried.

Never, in 70 years, have I seen a deep fried tamale. All that I have ever had were assembled and steamed.

I was surprised when I did my search. The corn bread tamale pie and some hand made ''real tamales '' are on my list of things to try.

I found the broken glass tamales to be a bit disappointing.
