![]() Got to thinking about 'em. Bought some frozen pork tamales (Bueno brand) and a can of Hormel Tamales. BTW, the recipe for a tamale "casserOLE" is right on the can. (OLE, get it?) The frozen tamales are a tad spicy, but they still have more masa than meat. Spicy-ness is cheap. I'm not desperate enough to open the can of Hormel tamales, yet. ![]() nb |

I ended up ordering a full entree, a spicy chicken burrito that came with a refried beans, Mexican rice and a salad. It was delicious. There was an assortment of sauces, mild, medium and hot (made with ghost peppers). Megatron added some sauce to the beans that came with her steak burrito, but mine sure didn't need any extra heat. There is no real Latino community around here, so it is not a region where you should expect good Mexican food. It is still more Tex Mex than Mexican, but I will definitely go back there. |

I know the differences (generally) but find the local versions work well for me too. -- |

Ok...hello dummy casa read the url - those'r made in Warshington state! Our local fave is always Amigos: http://amigos-foods.com/ But they're also nicely filled. No reason those ought not be in a Colorado market. There's some other brand that looks just like the NMT brand, but I can not remember the name. Also we get these at Costco, iirc: http://www.delrealfoods.com/products...in-green-sauce |

More masa than the frozen tamales. That extra masa encased a mass of ???? that woulda made a dog turd proud. Make seniors eating dog food think they were getting over! Not as spicy as the frozen tamales. Plus, the frozen one's had something faintly resembling a pork muscle strands occassionally passing through one's teeth. I can't say the frozen tamales were actully pork, but they dang sure tried to be! ![]() nb |

People will eat anything if they're hungry enough. I'm not talking about human brains or anything like that. I'm talking about cold Vienna sausage from a can or Hormel tamales. |

I last ate some on a fishing trip around 1980 or so. They are tasty when you are very hungry. I do still buy the occasional can of "potted meat." That's ok on a sandwich but I use it like a condiment not for the meat. Well, I guess I do use it for the meat but spread thin like a condiment. A soft roll, both sides with mayo, a thin layer of potted meat, slice of tomato and slice of swiss cheese. Not too bad for a nice unhealthy snack. ![]() |

The chocolate with a white coating on it was a real treat. Somewhere in the house I still have one or two of those little can openers that came in each box. Thanks to the age of the ration packs we had very limited menu choices. The odd time that we actually had a choice of two or three menu packs we could trade with each other. Canned jamblaya usually ended up in the garbage. |

nb, if you process ham only until it is in smallish dice/bits, instead of a minced paste-
texture, add some minced scallions, diced celery, pickle relish, mayo, and a little chili powder, it makes great ham salad. Much better in a sandwich than a deviled paste. N. |

Much better in a sandwich than a deviled paste. While I enjoy tuna, salmon, chicken, and egg salads, never tried ham salad. I jes deviled some ham leftovers cuz I could. Already had Grey Poupon and Coleman's mustard and some horseradish, major ingredients fer most deviled ham recipes. Plus, I barely recalled the flavor of devil ham and liking it. ![]() nb |

Maybe having a steak? Oh dear. My father was wounded. Two purple hearts, silver star, bronze star, Legion of merit. And the 'V' on all the medals indicates 'in combat'. My father was at the Tet Offensive. I'm not saying this is a good thing. The entire conflict was a cock up. But I'm wondering why you thought he got to eat better simply because he was an officer. He was a part of a fighting force. Third Battalion, 1st Marines. Yes, my father had to give orders. But he was right there with them. > However, I've had several of the old K-Rations from WW2 > and Korea. I liked them well enough. > Okay. That's some old stuff. LOL Jill |
