A tamale is corn dough steamed in a banana leaf or corn husk. They can be sweet and eaten for desert or include cheese, meat, or vegetables.
Our tamales were wrapped in a corn husk and were sweet—but not too sweet. We gobbled them up sitting in a courtyard at a coffee plantation just outside of Veracruz. Just one really fills you up! Very Yummy! You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

Did you pick to have your tamales sweet and in a corn husk or did you get it chosen for you?

It was part of the meal and we had no choice. But I really liked them.

The tamales are wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves and then steamed.

The beans were there a decoration, chosen because we were at a coffee plantation.

They take one and a half to two hours just to steam cook them. Safe to say they take a long time to make.

I think your family could google a recipe for tamales. Let me know if you try. That is coffee beans beside them because we were at a coffee plantation.
