In Latin America, hot tamales are as ubiquitous as the sandwich. This holds true in, of all places, the Mississippi Delta. Better known for its association with cotton and catfish, the Mississippi Delta has a fascinating relationship with tamales. In restaurants, on street corners, and in kitchens throughout the Delta, this very old and time-consuming culinary tradition remains vibrant. But how and when were hot tamales introduced to what has been called “the most Southern place on earth”? And why have they stayed? There are as many answers to those questions as there are tamale recipes. Oral history interviews with tamale makers and vendors in the Delta today offer us some answers. They reveal the various ways in which tamale recipes have been acquired and how they have evolved, helping to explain the persistence of hot tamales in the Mississippi Delta.

Simple.
Eat 18 now and then on Jan 2 tell your wife someone broke in and stole the other 18 and the leftover salsa.
I think President Ford did the same thing.
I really miss having the option to go into any crappy Alsups in West Texas and get tamales if I wanted them... I recall buying 10 homemade tamales at a clip from an old woman outside the grocery store in Hobbs too.
Food porn!
Someone had to do it.
“Living in Texas, to me, it means both! Why take chances...??? “
Agree for sure! I’m a NBT (native born Texian) and my family has served both as long as I can remember. Sadly though, black eyed peas with snaps has become difficult to find. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you don’t matter. :)
Pork tamales have always been a favorite of ours. If you happen to know someone that is good at making them, take them some venison to mix with the pork. You will not be disappointed.
Christmas Eve. Every year I do a tamale, rice, beans, and drinks feed for family and friends. We usually have between 30-50 people show up.
Wow. That Polenta tamale looks great.
Guess I could leave the garage door open but keep the house locked for a couple of hours, since they are in the fridge out there.
I do tamales for Christmas - and only the sauces are hot, the tamales are not.
I’m Brooklyn Irish Catholic and my husband in New England Irish English French Canadian......but he spent 11 years living in Texas and Arizona before we met. I learned to make tamales for him.
I bought some tamales from a Mexican lady who works where I work...not sure I like them that much...but I do like Tex/Mex a lot....I think better than Asian food......
Good tamales are where you find 'em. Best I ever had came from a vendor in the Athens, TX city square. Black gentleman named Early Raymond, who defined his 7-day weeks as "three makin' days and three sellin' days, with Sundays for church".
He drove all over Henderson County looking for what he called "#1 corn husks".
Wonderful tamales...
And, if you can make friends with a Tex-Mex family where the women get together every holiday season and make literally hundreds of tamales, and come into a dozen-or-two for yourself, you can't go wrong.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm....hot tamales....cold Mexican beer.
LOL When my little one first had shrimp she hated them because she didn’t know to peel the shells off. I thought it was a given...bad Mommy.
having corned beef on St Paddy's day....
and hot cross buns on St. Joseph feast day....
my little one ATE the shell until someone noticed and corrected him.....lol
