I subbed; what do you mean re lurkers? I have questions, am
interested in Mexican foods, but do not have full recipes,
authentic ones, like a Hispanic person; she needs to understand
that; if things do not work out, one always can unsubscribe.
Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment!

I have reposted the information
I need to let people know that my Arlette does not like lurkers
so if you plan to join you must post Most owner's do not like
lurkers.
She will call your attention to it.
I am sorry for posting the info but to answer a question, some
groups and owners don't like to advertise other members groups on
their list.
But since many were asking I thought I'd give it out for Naima.
Smile

A tamale isn't the problem, it's a good tamale, and as someone
who ate tamales almost from the crib I'm sort of picky about my
tamales. In this area tamale production is a standard form of
entrepreneurship for Hispanic and Mexican-American women, but
since I don't work in an office I don't have the almost
ubiquitous Latin co-worker with a family member who makes tamales
for her family member to sell at work.
So that's why I'm listening for recipes to indulge the roommate's
experimentation.

If you mean grocery stores, then try Aldies, wall mart, crogers,
Publics or any other store that will sell them. For the family
issue, you're not alone.
I'm going through similar problems as well.

Subject: Re: [CnD] Tamales
I'm unable to get her recipe for the fruit tamales, as she's
currently at war with my family after the divorce. The reason I
asked is because I was curious as to what you turned up for the
meat fillings. I've had a problem finding decent tamales -- it's
hard to predict what will be available from independent cooks,
and the different specialty places that make them in the area are
inconsistent in quality. My best tamale source, amazingly
enough, is at Braums, but my roommate has expressed interest in
making them sometime, so that's why I'm always interested in
recipes for them.
Our front door has a sign up advising people of the rules of the
house, and one of them is as follows: "No solicitation.
Exceptions will be made for Girl Scout cookies and tamales."

Well Nichole,
I would love to try your versions too.
Will you please post them?
P.S. Every family has one or more of those in them.

To make this we'll need recipes for the filling too, as it's
definitely more than just shredded meat. My former sister-in-law
made a variation on this with raisins, diced apple, coconut, and
chopped pecans, and she formed them as flat triangles instead of
rolls. They were well liked by my family. (Far more than she
was, but she was a drama queen who threw fits if she wasn't the
center of attention) I've also encountered tamales made with
cheese and spices or beans.
