Ahhh, I remember my first tamales; Christmas Eve, 1983. Yuma, Arizona.
In the Southwest, tamales are a traditional celebration food. Beer and Christmas tamales on Christmas Eve. Christmas tamales are the red ones with a black olive in the filling. Green corn tamales are often served along side, for contrast.
The Holidays just aren't quite right without getting a couple dozen tamales for snacks and lunches.
I think I'll stop by Sofia's, or maybe La Canasta, for lunch tomorrow.
