A LITTLE HISTORY OF TAMALES
The word tamal comes from the Nahuatl tamale, which means wrapped; The origin of this food is disputed between several countries in America, since different varieties of tamales have been developed in almost all the countries of the American continent, especially in Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, the countries of Central America and more.
Despite this, everything indicates that its origin really occurred in the central region of Mexico and from there it spread throughout the rest of America since there is sufficient evidence that the predominant cultures in Mexico brought corn to other regions, as well as dishes and the ways to cook them.
Archaeological evidence shows the tamale as part of the daily life of some cultures in Mexico in pre-Hispanic times, which was also used in religious rituals, offerings, and tombs.
Currently, tamales are an important part of a Mexican’s diet, being a very common dish in festivities such as Christmas, posadas, baptisms, offerings, and Candlemas Day.
