Huecatn tamales

Post by Wish »

Stolen from Wikipedia:

"Aztecs
Edit
In the pre-Columbian era, the Aztecs ate tamales with fillings such as turkey, flamingo, frog, axolotl, pocket gopher, rabbit, fish, turkey eggs, honey, fruits, squash, and beans, as well as with no filling.[7] Aztec tamales differed from modern tamales by not having added fat.[7]

One of the most significant rituals for the Aztecs was the feast of Atamalcualiztli (eating of water tamales). This ritual, held every eight years for a whole week, was done by eating tamales without any seasoning, spices, or filling which allowed the maize freedom from being overworked in the usual tamale cooking methods.[8]"

Anyone want axolotl tamales?
