“The tamale is emblematic of the holiday season in Latin culture.

Packages of sweet or savory corn dough stuffed with meats and vegetables, and wrapped in banana leaves or cornhusks, tamales are a memorable part of the holiday feast, and the making of them a celebrated tradition in the Mexican American home.”
