The first tamales I ever had were from a jar.

Hormel makes these jarred tamales that are like... extruded tubes wrapped in paper instead of corn husks and packed tightly in a grease-flecked red fluid.

I fucking loved them.

They come in a can now and the last time I had them was a decade or more ago and they weren't the same but they still hit that one special craving for nostalgia food.

Today my husband got tamales from a guy on the corner, some red and some green, and damn if the red ones don't taste just like I remember the Hormel tamales tasting.

Wild.

Especially since the Hormel ones are beef and these are chicken.

The sauce is just... it's exactly how I remember it tasting.
