Tamales can be traced back to 8,000 BC-making them one of the oldest foods still alive and kicking on menus today. They have some solid longevity, and it's quite astonishing to see how long they've remained such a significant part of Latin culture throughout the centuries. The author provides a collection of different Latin American tamales and how each Latino country creates, prepares its Tamales and the most important thing is how they blend the rich ingredients together.
