Grew up in Greenville, lived in Vicksburg. Have eaten Sollys and Scotts. I liked them very much. I also liked Doe's in greenville. I used to buy tamales, 24 dozen at a time and sell them at Roy's store on Lake Washington. There was a older man called Mr. Petro in greenville. His were excellent as well. Dang, I guess you and I are Tamale Lovers!!!
As a Mexican I find it fascinating how tamales have taken on a life of their own in the delta, I would love to try them and I’m sure they’re delicious! Thanks for the tour good sir !
I grew up calling "hot tamales" what most people call sloppy joes. I just recently learned this is a specific name used in the region my parents grew up in within Wisconsin. I later on learned that most people call them sloppy joes or sometimes "spanish hamburgers".
@@unculturedtravelyou should come in mid October because we have a 4 day ever-expanding Hot tamale festival here in Greenville that brings in people from all across the world. They have all types of vendors and carnival rides as well. Saturday is the main day 💯🫔🔥🔥🎡
I flew to Nashville then drove to Memphis through Western Kentucky (Owensboro) and took a train from Memphis to Jackson, then drove. There are some previous vlogs up from other parts of the journey! I fun ride with lots of good food. Have you been to this part of the USA?
the spaniards took mexican warriors to Philippines ..The Tlaxcaltecas, an indigenous Nahua people from Mexico, played a significant role in the establishment of the Philippines as a Spanish colony: Military expeditions The Tlaxcaltecas participated in several military expeditions in the Philippines, including a 1582 battle against Japanese corsairs. The Tlaxcaltecas fought alongside the Spanish against the corsairs, known as the wakos, in the province of Cagayán on the island of Luzon. The Spanish and Tlaxcaltecas won the battle, and the Spanish took the wakos' weapons as trophies. Settlement Some Tlaxcaltecas may have settled in the Philippines, along with Spaniards and mestizos. Language influence Many words from Nahuatl, the language of the Tlaxcaltecas, were adopted by the natives of the Philippines.
OK, Now I'm just curious, I'll start with a little story. Over here in Puerto Rico, we have iguanas. Iguanas are not native to the island. They came here and populated. They are considered an invasive species because they eat our crops. Many Puerto Ricans, have a real hate for these animals. So much that they put a $6 a pound price on it's meat. (that was years ago, it's probably higher now). The whole point though, was not the taste of the meat, but the idea of eating them to put a dent in their population. I'll get to my point. Do you think you can eat some Alligator or something. Maybe some snake or badger, or squirrel. Lmao. I hope I'm not insulting you with this. You come off as the talkative type. Lmao. Good luck bro, Enjoy Life. 😀
I don't know how they cook it up. These Puerto Ricans make everything taste good. Either way, Good or Bad, I promised myself to try it. I grow sweet peppers and they are the enemy. 🙂
@@unculturedtravel for the Iguana, cook it as Adobo. And you may also add coconut milk (gata) and thinly sliced ginger to the adobo, which makes the dish Adobo sa Gata.
Mississippi hot tamales are a Mississippi dish created nearly 200 years ago inspired by tamales cooked by migrant Mexican farmworkers (who were scarce in Mississippi then) and adopted to Mississippi tastes.
@@unculturedtravel sure! Well, certianly cornmeal battered fried catfish, and mud pie are two that come to mind but I know there are many others. I'ts mostly deep south cuisine shared with other states though.
Well I will say this. If you have a closed mind you shouldn’t travel to MS OR anywhere else in South. We are the most hospitable people you will find. There are some historical unpleasantries that have occurred in MS. BUT those same things have occurred in other states also. I can speak on it because I’ve lived in KS, LA, CA, TN, and other places. Now regarding food, we are unmatched‼️😊. The best food that’s including other COUNTRIES. YES, this Mississippi Girl has been blessed to travel. I have Very broad palate. I hope others come to MS state and enjoy our TAMALES and other Southern cuisine. God Bless.

The breading is called Mesa
masa is the correct name , means mass, mesa means table
Scott's are the best
So so good. Any other favorites in the area?

If someone was cooking it, I’d try it! How would people prepare Iguana?

Don't ever touch a grown man food with your bare hands😏
Ha! These Tamales are incredible! Have you tried?
I think you scared them, they were not friendly.

Thank you for the history! What is another classic Mississippi dish?

Lol, ok now I'm watching this just for you, Yep, I have no intention or desire to ever go to Mississippi. Good luck down there.
Haha it’s a great spot to visit! Good food and country roads! Good music too! But a bit far probably! Thank you for watching!
Why’s that, Mississippi has some of the most distinct history culture and food of any place in the US.
