GIVE ME ALL THE TAMALES…except the sweet ones.
So every year, around the holidays, everybody's moms and aunts are making some fresh batches of tamales that will last until at least mid-February. And for the most part, they're delicious.
They're awesome. They're bomb as fuck. If you haven't tried them, hit up your local tamale lady and get ready to stuff your face with a hundred of these.

However, we need to talk about the pink tamale in the room. Yes, I'm talking about these fake-ass, wannabe, sweet tamales otherwise known as tamales de dulce.

For those who don't know, sweet tamales can be made in a variety of ways. But they're generally sweet and include fillings made out of raisins, pineapple, coconut, a variety of berries, nuts, and in some instances, chocolate.
I must emphasize, everybody's got their own way of making them. So don't @ me with your abuelita's recipe.

Now, don't get me wrong. At first, I thought I was the only one who didn't like them. So, I did a deep dive ~investigation~ and discovered that I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE!
