My wife and daughter are at a retreat, my son is still asleep, so I’m having a fantastic lunch- tamales with fried eggs. Yum!

I always forget there’s two very popular  types of Tamales.

Some are made with banana leaf as the mold (the type I like) and some are made with maize leaf as the mold I think the ones you have are with the maize mold. If you haven’t I highly encourage you try the ones with banana leaf (called Oaxacan or Veracruzan at times)

Some are also sweet, and those I really don’t like.

The significance of the paper plate is not lost on me.

You have a good eye. It’s impossible to get decent tamales in Louisiana, so my in-laws bring us several dozen every time they come visit from south Texas. If I can find banana-leaf tamales, I’ll give them a shot.

How does the banana leaf make the tamale taste different?

It’s a Mexican benedict. Huevos benedictos?

I think it keeps it drier when cooking it , which makes the spices in the tamale stand out a bit better.

Need some spicy black beans with it too. I’m starving now.

If I were to add beans, they would have to be refried. Oh man. Now I’m thinking about dinner.

In the Philippines sweet rice is wrapped in banana leaves. It is an acquired taste because the banana leaves have a very smoky flavor.

I think that for sweet foods, the maize wrapping is probably superior since it doesn’t impact the flavour as much.

The banana leaf was a hard flavor to get off my tongue. My Philippino friend was cracking up at the sour face I was making.

Its either that, or eat standing over the toilet or garbage can - which just  works for pizza and sandwiches.

I think you might on to something there - I’d totally get that

The sink, you’re supposed to eat over the sink. Not the toilet.

Unless you’re drunk and have to plan for contingencies.
