What is how to eat tamales?

Tamales are typically eaten directly from their corn husk wrapping, although some people prefer to unwrap them completely before eating. Here's a breakdown:

1. Presentation: Tamales are steamed in their corn husks, which are not meant to be eaten. They serve as a wrapper and cooking vessel.

2. Unwrapping: Carefully peel back the husk. It might be a little sticky. The tamale should be firm and hold its shape.

3. Eating: You can either hold the tamale and take bites, or use a fork to eat it if you prefer. There's no right or wrong way.

4. Accompaniments: Tamales are often served with accompaniments such as <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Salsa">salsa</a>, <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Crema%20Mexicana">crema mexicana</a> (Mexican sour cream), <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Queso%20Fresco">queso fresco</a> (fresh cheese), or <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Mole">mole</a>. These can be added on top of the tamale or eaten on the side.

5. Enjoying: Tamales are a hearty and flavorful food, best enjoyed warm. Each tamale is an individual serving.
