Delta Tamales

That's probably pretty tough to find. Most of the legit tamale places aren't run by folks that do a lot of internetting. I think Fat Mamas ships. But they're not very good delta hot tamales, imo.

Doe’s Eat Place has very good Delta tamales, not sure if they ship tho.
Several locations in many southern states, may be one near ‘ya

School me here. What is a delta tamale? I’m from east Houston Texas and know our tamales.

it's not hard to make your own ... I followed the Manuel's recipe and tweaked it a little. I spent < $20 and ended up with around 6 dozen tamales. Total kitchen time invested around 2-3 hours which was prep, browning meat, and rolling tamales. Cook time was 5-6 hours spent in the crock pot on low. end result

After reading/looking at the criteria, M&M definitely fits the description of Delta tamales. Stop by. They are cheap and delicious.

Anyone have a recommendation between Tupelo and Memphis? I know that’s a little north of the ones names in this thread.

I started making a batch today. The meat is done and will finish tomorrow since it’s supposed to rain all day. I used the meat recipe that Got blaze posted but will do masa and wrap in corn husks.
Hoping for the best.

Here’s a list of places in the Delta that have banging tamales off the top of my head:

Hot Tamale Heaven in Greenville
5 O’Clock on Deer Creek in Scott
Crystal Grille and Honest Abe’s donuts in Greenwood
Tom’s on Main in Yazoo City
Airport Grocery in Cleveland

I think all of the Lost Pizza’s have them

Not included: Doe’s. I don’t love them. Something about not being in a corn husk.. And there’s better appetizer options there. Mainly, broiled shrimp.
