It's still tamal* season, I guess

Posted by con_carne Jan 5 '15, 21:18

I'm enjoying a scrumptious Salvadoran tamal with pork, tomatillo salsa and white corn my mom got from someone over the weekend. I'm not sure why they always have to have unpitted olives. I mean, where would you even get them? :)

*I know people say "tamale" but it just looked wrong when I typed it. That's not even a real word anyway. :)

Ah, there was a man in the market a couple of weeks back who'd been instructed to buy unpitted olives.... - Meg Jan 5, 21:24 2

  - They had fancy Greek olives with pits but not just the regular ones. -- nm - Meg Jan 5, 21:39
