My first tamale

Tonight, I tried my first tamale.  I've been told that los tamales are the most important part of a Tico Christmas meal, so I bought a few at a Christmas festival last weekend.


After adding some sliced avocado with salt and lime and a little mango habañero sauce, dinner was served!


Although, after hearing so much about tamales, I have to say that I was not that impressed.  It didn't really have much taste to it, and most of the tamale was just cooked cornmeal.  I think I'll stick with my mom's Swedish coffee cake for Christmas!
