Current Events > CE, why the FUCK didn't you tell me Tamales were so good???

(+) Yeah! (+)

All these wasted years! I didn't know what i was missing out on!

They're not, you're supposed to eat them hot.

Shit I read that as cool, not good. It's all joever.

you never asked.

I did tell you

They're ok. Not really my favorite. Depending on where you buy it from, could be too greasy, too dry, too soft or too thick. And it's always mostly masa, not enough filling.

A few years ago, while driving from Vegas to LA to visit my brother, I made a pit-stop at a remote exit in Cali. I saw an older man holding a sign that I arrogantly assumed read "homeless," but upon a second glance actually said "tamales." After hating myself for a second, I decided to give him some business, and it was one of the best food decisions of my life. I ordered ten (split between cheese, chicken, and beef), and they hit so damn hard that my gf and I started eating them in the car on the last leg of the drive. Only about five were left when we reached my brother.

Street tamales aren't always a hit, but when they are, good lord they're one of the best foods in the world.

Yeah, people don't realize that old men on the side of the road are secretly snacklords

The place I go to doesn't have beef tamales. I love the chicken ones I've had but I wanna know what the beef tastes like

The quality of tamales can vary from place to place.

Tamales are one of those foods where 99% if you ask me on a Tuesday, I'm like yeah they're ok I guess, but the one time in like two years that I actually eat some I'm like WHY DON'T I EAT THESE MORE OFTEN?!

Mmmm, I love a good tamale.

Love 'em. Lots of good places around town, but homemade tastes best. Between coworkers bring in several platters, and a neighbor bringing some over, the holidays get very fattening. Usually it's chicken at work, but the neighbor brings over pork tamales...
