- n corn and cornmeal dough stuffed with a meat mixture then wrapped in corn husks and steamed
- I love -- oh, I love tortillas, I love tamales -- (laughter) -- I love beans and rice, I love mole, I love all the mole sauces, I love beef and lamb and quesadillas.
- We eat a wonderful, artery-clogging meal of steak and hot tamales (southern ones are smaller and wrapped in paper instead of corn .
