I would disagree. Doe's are just ok, imo.

The only answer"

In my opinion, Doe's in Greenville are middle of the road, at best.

The only ones I've had were from Divine Donuts in Vicksburg. I loved them enough to stop every time I go through. Their kolaches are good too.

Don't go to Rhoda's in Lake Village Arkansas, at least for buying to take home. She's got good tamales and fried pies, but the last time I was in there I asked if I could buy several dozen to take home and freeze.

God love her, that sweet lady said "Oh no. You wouldn't know how to cook 'em."

I left with a full belly and an empty cooler.

M&M is solid. Not the best I’ve ever had, but probably as good as you’ll get south of Vicksburg

Delta tamales are ground beef rolled in corn flour then parchment paper and steamed.

Mexican tamales are meat rolled in masa then corn husk and steamed

Central American tamales are meat and other fillings rolled in masa then wrapped in banana leaves and streamed.

Each has their place.

Best I ever had was at a gas station in Clarksdale. Used to get them on the way to Burkes/Ward Lake/Miller Point. That was at least 15 years ago. That station is probably a lot more hood than it was back then.
