We’ve been practicing Cuban beans and pork roast for about a year. Tamales are Mexican - there have been some great ones at the social after our Spanish Mass in the last few months. I used to not like tamales, but now I know better.
I love tamales!
I have also gained a great appreciation for Cuban food.
When I worked n Culver City (Los Angeles) there was a Cuban cafe about three doors down. The experiments were worth everything I paid, which really wasn’t much!
Tamales are pretty versatile. I like the “wedding” tamales, with the white corn meal and raisins.
