Did you know? The tradition of tamales is a direct connection to the most ancient traditions of Mexico and Central America. Some scholars of Mesoamerican civilization believe that leaf-wrapped tamales actually predate the tortilla. Long before the arrival of the Spaniards, Mesoamericans believed that the gods originally crafted humans out of corn. Quite literally, corn was their substance of life. Sometime after corn had been domesticated, the ancient Mexicans invented the process of nixtamalization, that is, soaking hard corn with ashes and water to remove the fibrous shell on the kernels and to render it digestible and nutritive to human beings. The treated corn kernels could then be ground and used in tamales or tortillas.
If that wasn't enough to celebrate, November gets to be a little spicy and that's good, since it is getting cooler this time of year.
