Tamales

[DoctorShavegood]

It seems a member of this here fine forum has blessed upon myself with a fine cuisine of tasty tamales. Shipped FedEx in styrofoam box with ice packs.

Tamales are not hard to make but very labor love intensive.

Marty...thank you.

Holy Tamales!

 

[Mr. Bonney]

Yeah, I could never commit to the time involved.

It's getting to that time of year when tons of locals here in Tucson whip up tamales and sell them on the street corners. I should ask around and see which of my friend's has a recommendation for a vendor they like.

My pleasure!!
Chicken and cheese tamales are as good as it gets!
Delia’s Tamales ships all over the U.S.

Tamale Lovers:
We just had a Tamale Festival last month (and in Zwolle...there is a tamale factory in town [I love mine w/ Chili
Brown Sause]).

Those tamales look delicious! I bet they tasted delicious too!
I make tamales at least once a year because of the work involved, but I make a bunch and freeze most of them so I can make them when I want some.
I've even thrown a few on my smoker once. Those turned out amazing!

I don't think that would be a problem.

They use cream cheese, which gives it a creamy texture but does hurt the flavor of the neat. Also, great tamale makers use very little masa.

Breakfast of champions.

We toast them on the comale in the mornings. Especially at the ranch.
The toasted/burned husk just gives them an incredible extra flavor.
We do remove the just after roasting but flavor remains!

Thanks for the tip. Now I need a comale.

....and a ranch

In the skillet
On the pit
Both work

Hopefully the wife will be up to making them this year. As you say, they are relatively easy, but it is a long process.

I'll take 2 dozen.

Shipping was a little too steep...

Woof....$70 for 2-day and $93 for over-night...I dont think that I could order and store enough to justify that shipping cost.

I mean, this isnt Martin de Candre...

 

[martym]

That is a bit steep for shipping!!
A few years ago I paid more to ship tacos from Mission, Tx to New Hampshire than I did pies from California to New Hampshire.
I must be a lucky man. We have 3 or 4 Delia’s Tamales within 5 miles of my house.

And boy those chicken and cheese are special

Nope...its much better.
