Mom was a 2nd generation Texan, so it makes sense that we were introduced at a young age to tamales. It’s one of the few ethnic dishes I remember from my childhood, since most of our meals were more typical American fare, with some traditional Italian dishes in the mix.
Interestingly, the tamales I recall were prepared ones, an almost unheard of circumstance in our large family. I think it’s a testament to Mom’s love of Mexican food that she chose them as one of her very rare indulgences.
