We can get the *best* tamales from women who sell (hot) tamales from insulated coolers. Get there early because they sell out fast! -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

My dentist is there and I visit him several times a year. Can buy duty-free booze great knock-offs of designer handbags, Mexican candies and treats, the most wonderful avocados (they take out the seed and put in a piece of jalapeno so you can take it across the border). Lots of people get their medicines there as well. I usually get a Z-pack before I take a trip. They sell 800 MG Ibuprophen over the counter, too. There is a private bridge, totally covered and sheltered, that I walk into Nuevo Progreso, Tamulipas, Mexico. The town is a shopping town and is patrolled by a crew hired by the local merchants. Lots of nice restaurants, many with music or Folkloric dance shows, and fun shopping. I have a wheeled shopping bag that I use to schlepp stuff back over the bridge. -- From somewhere very deep in the heart of Texas |

It was such fun I've only been to one too. Unfortunately, I was young and it was before I had a real interest in making tamales myself - so I didn't learn as much from it as I should have.  -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

They're all steam processed to destroy the urushiol contained in the nut. Without doing that, most people would suffer allergic reactions from eating the nuts. As it is, cashews are even more likely to trigger allergic reactions than are peanuts. After the initial processing, cashews may roasted to enhance the flavor, but all of them have been cooked first via the steam processing. |

They are not raw. They are all cooked. She understood his post and allowed that while that may be the case, the package is clearly labeled raw (if they are not labeled roasted). What's so hard to understand about that? -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

Yes. And they are acceptable to raw foodists as well. Raw cacao technically isn't raw either because it has sat in the sun at temps. too hot to be considered raw and yet, it will be called raw and accepted as raw by raw foodists as well. |

That is true, but cashews and pistachios that have merely been steamed are called "raw." "Raw" cashews suck. "Raw" pistachios are delicious. --Bryan |
