Wow. Thanks for reminding us about El Mercadito, jdarg. I keep forgetting about them. Off there for lunch tomorrow, and coming home with a batch of tamales.

:D

I thought about learning how to make them from scratch, but when you can buy really good ones and they aren't expensive, why bother? The corn husk part also intimidates me- it looks complicated.

Two or three years ago, there was an episode of a now-defunct Food Channel show (like DDD but not the same). They toured the "Mississippi tamale trail". It was a pretty complicated process for both the shell and the filling.
