TAMALES...TAMALES...EVERYWHERE TAMALES

Would you believe that there is actually a real live Tamale Festival in this world? Well there is. Indo, California has been hosting this wonderful festival for 15 years. We went, Tony, Angela and myself. We ate ourselves silly, ate tamales, elotes, tamales, sweet, blue corn
pork, chile and cheese, red chile and beef
we could barely walk back to the car. Not all the tamales were great, some were everything you could expect from Nana's kitchen..a tasters delight, some were ok but too dry while others were not cooked thouroughly enough, thus the massa was a bit mushy. The sweet green tamales were my favorite and Angela and Tony couldn't make up thier minds. Having helped my mother in law make them every Christmas I know how they should taste. Still today was a real culinary delight. Wow !!! Good!!

This frikkin' blogger is really gettin' on my nerves. I had my comment all typed out and lost it because I had to log in.

Yummy! I love tamales.

Coincidentally, I had a Cuban tamal yesterday. It was not bad considering Cuban tamales are usually mushy. It was made with kernal corn and ham bits.
