Tamales sees any meat of your choice along with some processed corn and fillings of your choice also leaf or any other wrappers. But do remember the corn type that we see that didn’t exist like in those days. Earlier then sweet stalks were used and later the natives realized the corn can be possessed. Today the tamales that’s eaten mostly during holiday season but back then it was food of gods. Even today Tamales are made during Christmas.
