And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Really authentic tamales are made from the hog's head - that meat is really tender, fine-grained. The ladies I've seen doing it just chuck it into a pot an boil it down, then pull it out and start pulling off the cheek meat. Yum.
Definitely tamales. My grandma used to make them so even the corn shucks didn't go to waste ( depression era you will learn soon enough) add them to chili and you have what is known as a full house. At least in Tennessee or Appalachia. Guess it would be the same in Texas. Don't mess with either of us. God bless America!!!
Once when I was living in San Antonio and Dad was a Lt Col in the 437 Military Airlift Wing in Charleston he had me go to a Tamale factory and get a couple of large cans of Tamales and meet some of his guys at the MAC Passenger Terminal at Kelly AFB and they did a C-141 Tamale express straight to Charleston. Hot from the kitchen!
What are they? I am guessing some Tex-Mex mix in corn wrappers?
