I've got several dozen in the freezer. Have a restaurant here that does nothing but tamales.Barry Natchitoches, who lives in Memphis, was looking for tamales, hope he's found some.
God is good, all the time,

I keep seeing talk on this thread of Hormel tamales. I haven’t had them in years and had forgotten that as an option for canned meat. I just checked and my two local H‑E‑Bs don’t have any but several Dollar Generals in the area do for $1.85 a can. Just added it to my list.Big score for me today at the local (West Memphis) mom and pop grocery. They had Hormel tamales on sale in their ad that started today. First time I've seen them since this all started. I grabbed 24 cans and there was still lots on the shelf.
Will have to get a can, even though it goes against everything I know about tamales, spoiled because they are so easy to get here. Even learned how to make them years ago.I keep seeing talk on this thread of Hormel tamales. I haven’t had them in years and had forgotten that as an option for canned meat.

Have you heard of using filler for The bottom half of pots? It keeps the weight down, plus you don’t have to buy so much dirt. For large pots, qt soda bottles work well. That’s the only one I remember off the top of my head. I know there’s others, just google.
I've never eaten a tamale, and for some reason canned tamales sound as unappetizing as canned asparagus. Bleck!
Try the tamales wrapped in banana leaves. Very moist and tenderHome made are the ones to die for - the canned not so much. Boy, are you missing out on the crème de la creme of Mexican cuisine! But, to some they are an acquired taste. Worked with a Jewish kid and at our Thanksgiving potluck someone brought tamales - he wanted to know if you ate the corn husks too! We told him no, and showed him how to eat them properly. Got a good chuckle out of it afterwards and no, no one told him they were pork to boot!

When my sister moved to Maui, she couldn't find any corn husks for making her tamales, so she used some banana leaves from her backyard and she likes them Much better! VTry the tamales wrapped in banana leaves. Very moist and tender

Extremely labor intensive and time consuming...Recipe please? PM it to me.

Central American tamales are made with banana leaves. The Panamanians make them that way and add sugar to the masa as well so they’re just a bit sweet. Different from the spicy Mexican tamales.When my sister moved to Maui, she couldn't find any corn husks for making her tamales, so she used some banana leaves from her backyard and she likes them Much better!
