Here in where I'm at. (Tucson Arizona) A thing for Thanksgiving is tamales.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

It just ain't Thanksgiving without tamales for me. Introduced to this tradition when I first got here.
So is there anything in your neck of the woods that is a tradition that is reginal!

2. Christmas too!

My MIL used to bring us tamales in her luggage, handmade in New Mexico. So good!

4. I always though that they were a Christmas tradition my relatives only had them for Christmas.

5. Same here but I guess they're year-round now!

Fine with me.

10. I spend Thanksgiving with a Mexican family

And they have tamales every year.
I spend Christmas with a Chinese family from China. They don't have tamales.

Other families also have tamales for Thanksgiving around here to.

3. Leather britches (dried pole beans)

It just isn't Thanksgiving without them. I'll cook them on low in the crock pot all night Wednesday along with a couple of smoked ham hocks. Very good eating! By the way, I'm in the southern Appalachians of north Georgia.

8. My mom used to do stuff celery

It was a cream cheese mixture with some mayonnaise in it very Southern, with crushed pineapple garlic salt and ground up walnut it sounds bizarre but it's the best fucking thing in the world and it's not the same without her...

9. I lived in Tucson years ago when La Suprema was still on 4th Ave. IIRC. I know they're gone now...

but the were the real deal Mexican cooks. I've recently tried Tucson Tamale by ordering online. They shipped to me but some were good, some not so good.

The green chili ones were okay, the beef ones...meh.

What really wanted were green corn ones but they were not available. I don't know if they were out of season or they don't make them at all.

Can you recommend another place to order from online?
