Binging with Babish: Tamales from Coco

Binging with Babish has reached a point where it's more relaxing to listen to Andrew talk about food than Gordon Ramsay

I see your point. +darknessblade

+mukul jawalia when he freaks out of how disgusting a meal is that is normal for others.just look at his visit at hot-ones chilli wings challenge

For a second I was worried about what you were gonna do here, but then you pulled out the lard, and I knew you could be trusted.

We use lard in pies to get a super nice pie crust texture 🤷🏻‍♀️Actually, we use lard in everything. Lard is amazing. I love lard.

Angam Esam no problem, the cheapest available is at winco and Walmart, the Manteca brand I believe.

+Kohl Cleveland I thought Rashid was like his bf or hubby. He mentions him so much.

Maui Dimagiba it really does, rip pemblokto, only intellectuals will understand

Tamales taste way better the day after they are made when you grill them on a skillet to form a crust on them hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now all this needs is the just right meme

U can do that I always steam them in a big pot where the dough becomes so soft and over stuffed tamales with a bunch of salsa but ig I can try that

I'm not a fan of the tiny little finger sized tamales. The ones we grew up eating out here in Cali were substantially sized. Like, a really fat hot pocket or something.

+TheAmazingJoeman What kind of abomination is a canned tamale?

Best ones I've had are tamales de masa colada from Tabasco and Campeche. But I also have a soft spot for tamales oaxaqueños filled with mole and tamales verdes with pork rib inside them. There are also tamales de chipilín, but those are very dry and you constantly have to shower them with sauce in order to eat them. And tamales de cochinita pibil, which are also wrapped in banana leaves and eaten with purple onions with habaneros

My mother taught me to not make pork tamales during the summer or on hot days because it spoils in the heat. So, we reserve making pork tamales for thanksgiving and Christmas time. On hot days we make chicken tamales.

Pork tamales are a Christmas tradition in my house :)

Los que tienen frijol son los mejores.

I'm black, not hispanic, but my dad would come home with like a dozen of these because when his friend's wife would make them, they'd make SO MANY. They were so good.

I'm Hispanic, but I dont love tamales, call me crazy, but I dont care

Its too much effort to make small batches, so you always make big ones. I'm currently still working on some from christmas

I made tamales for Christmas potluck at my (white) church once. Someone asked me "are they vegan?" Nope, sorry man. "Are they fat free?" Sorry, can't claim that either. But they smelled soooo good! I could see him just rocking back and forth wanting some, so I told him (truthfully) "They are made with organic corn meal bought at fair trade." and he yelled "SOLD!!" and piled his plate high with them and walked away humming...

Yep, all Karens.

Can you make beignets from Princess and the Frog?

She’s from New Orleans, from the looks of it I’m sure she made Red beans and rice at some point.

I’m betting they taste the same as the ones from Disneyland.
