Cooler tamales from a Latina are BEST tamales.
totally thursday

My initial concerns were they were too moist. Meaning, the masa wasn't fully cooked. Nothing more frustrating than unwrapping a tamale to find raw masa. Luckily, that was not the case here. My fears were unfounded.
I've never had a tamale.
The struggle is real
mostly overratedI've never had a tamale.
white people conversation pieces more than anything
This will be proven by the reactions you're about to see to this post.
told ya so 
when you die and go to hell you will be forced to eat tamales in a teslatold ya so
Guilty.
I live in a majority latino town. I eat tamales fairly frequently. There are families selling them on corners my neighborhood on most sunny days, winter included. I just don't think they're the super unique special authentic honkey fascination that you apparently do.
I like that you can stuff them in a backpack and they are mostly uncrushable.
Just great. Now I'm hungry for a tamale, with a fried egg on top, smothered in green chile.
They can be really good, but they are not something I would ever order at a restaurant when so many other things with interesting salsas, moles, carnes, etc are also available.
But damn they are good microwaved at midnight, with a little guacamole and salsa habañero slathered over them.
So, uhh…yeah.

True story: Every once in a while there's a lady that drives around a truck at the office complex where my work is selling tamales out of coolers....a pretty common thing in the area. She sells these awful velveeta filled pieces of shit as quickly as possible and then gets the hell out of the area because she knows how easy it is to scam white people when you say 'tamale'
Every time it happens all these emails go out from the business park landlord warning of the tamale scam!!! Beware. I think it's the funniest god damn thing in the world every time it happens. Her biggest crime? INAUTHENTIC TAMALES

I've have never had one either.
So it's similar to white people talking about their love for Tapas all over again?
Hey guys! We got a real cynical asshole here and definitely not someone who knows food!
Get him! The sanctity of tamales has been defiled!
Just out of curiosity - what *do* you think is "super unique special authentic honkey" food?
I've never had a tamale.
first time I had a tamale I tried to eat the whole fuckin' corn husk.
Talkin' about white people.

Man, I love tapas. Even better when it is a full size dinner portion and I don't have to order more than one thing.
That haggis shit everyone heckles gary about seems pretty unique and distinctly colonial
Given your propensity for good eatin, I would wager that you make better tamales than most sought after sources.

Yeah - but do you *like* it?
I've no doubt... but those things are a lot of work. Just ask @eric strt6.
There's a place in Fairplay, CO, of all places, that is rumored to have *excellent* tamales - sadly, the fuckin' joint has been closed EVERY single time I've been through town.
I think he means meth in a burrito. Or as I call them "drivin' sticks"
There is a "famous" tamale place here in Yakima that gets some serious play in the local/regional news. They're terrible.
We get them at Christmas from family friends usually. Thats it basically unless I run across something like this here today. There is a restaurant that makes good tamales but they cost a large sum and its nor worth it.
6 for 10 bucks today... salsa was spicy. Shoulda got a full dozen.

Not as much of a problem for IAB. He narrow.
I actually often like the frozen ones better than ‘fresh’ ones, so there.Hey guys! We got a real cynical asshole here and definitely not someone who knows food!

I went down the rabbit hole and made 75 or 100 of them once, never again. Too much labor without an indentured catholic family of Abuelitas y niñas.
Lunch time on the west coast. Sorry, not sorry
I'm that way with people.
I've triggered folks on a few occasions when they are talking about 'authentic' Thai, Indian, Italian, Chinese, Irish food and I remind them that a lot of the critical ingredients actually came from the Americas. A nice llama mole might be authentic.
IAB summed it up, tapas is dumb. I don't want to have to order 17 dishes to make up a normal sized meal.
Wtf makes something "authentic"? Is it the nationality of person cooking it? Their adherence to the original recipe? All this talk of eating "authentic" foods feels like people wanting to feel special for engaging in the most basic of human needs.
I think it has something to do with Woo making fun of honky bullshit. (Which I am sure is aware that is a little ironic) 
And maybe me, I don’t remember.
