Raisin Tamales. . .I thought my mom
was the only one that made these.

Boy could I eat a dozen by myself
right now (but not all Raisin). I
guess I'd have to say that Pork with
lots of "gordo" on the meat are my
favorite. but I can't eat Tamales that
have been cooked, cooled, frozen
and warmed up [well I guess I could]. I
have to have mine fresh cooked.
Boy are they good.

I'd say that
Tamales are my favorite food, then again I think I'd rather
have a big
bowl of Menudo with lots of chopped onion, some oregano,
cilantro, and
lemon juice and a tall pile! of flour tortillas (fresh made).

Can the
next person flying to North Carolina bring me some tamales?

Solito aqui
en Carolina del Norte,

joseph

ps: my mom's mom was from Jalisco.
That is how this discussion of
Tamales fits in and stays on
topic!
