You haven't eaten enough tamales. I find them one of the most diverse
of Mexican foods; everybody joint, and everybody's Mom makes a
significantly different tamale to my thinking. There is a tradition of
making tamales on Christmas eve and many people wrap them up and give
them as presents to friends and neighbors.
