Tamaleros....

I've never understood the whole "a lot of work" deal. You wrap some bland meat up in some masa then wrap that up in a husk.

there is alot more than you realize.

You have too cook the meat, possibly shred it, then grind it.
You have to make the masa and roll it through a little tool that flattens it on the husk.
You have to stuff the husk with meat, and then have it rolled, then you still have to steam it.

It seems easy until you realize you are doing all that to about 40-50 dozen just to make the whole process worth while.


Fyi, i hate tamales.

I will have to compare moms Tamales with one of the ones I had last year. Pic below...

Why is your one finger not together like the rest? Is that from heavy use daily of a weed eater?

Say what?! You cook the meat, toss it in the fridge so you can get the fat off the top of your broth, shred meat and once you add your seasoning and such it comes up pretty ground.

I have no tool to flatten out any masa onto a husk.....well, a butter knife.

I've made 40 dozen by myself and while it is a major in the butt as described above, it doesn't entail any special machines or tools.....however, it typically is a few women who do it in an assembly line and that is probably why it sucks so bad to me.

That is how we do it. Dont ask me why, that is the way mi abuela wants it, so that is how we do it.

So where is the best place to get several dozen from round these parts?

Can someone answer this guy please! I'm interested also.

[Turbosvo]

My mom makes so damn many every year that I don't ever want any lol, but always keeps a few dozens in the freezer just in case I want some ;-)

I migrated from Tijuana to Forr Worrr..

[GrayStangGT]

Damn I could go for some tamales for breakfast this morning. Anyone else eat them with mustard sometimes or am I the only weirdo?

[Juiced4v]

Winter is around the corner compas, which means more tamales....

Yes sir!!!
