The approach of the Christmas season and this Eater LA piece has tamales exploding in my mind https://la.eater.com/maps/best-tamales-los-angeles-mexican-guatemalan-brazilian-puerto-rican  Normally I default to the tamale cart guy ringing his bell but not residing in such a locale currently. There are a few with the cooler in back of pickup sitting on tailgate but again not in  my current scope. I've done a wonderful batch' before using fresh tamale masa from Diana's but can't get there either.  http://www.dianas.net/AboutUs.html  So I am going to see what I can cobble together with my limited product availability. May resort to Instacart and mail order. The filling to me just accents the corn goodness of the masa. May go crazy and use the duck fat Koger is suddenly stocking. Will report. Anyone else going to be in tamale mode? They freeze and re-steam well so ahead is ok. Some of the variations in the Eater article tickled my fancy and I also like the banana leaf versions. Probably a red chile pork with a fruity pepper mix and maybe out of my usual with a green chile fish.
