Looking for a recipe for tamales....

Hey HPT.com,
I work with some El Salvadorians and they bring me tamales.
I can get the recipe by tuesday and post it for you if you would like.

PS. I supply them chile powder to make it hotter, he claims the tamales are better than Mexican but not as spicy

Cool, I look forward to the recipe!

Hey THP,
They use banana leaves instead of corn husks and I will ask for them to write it down, some what of a communication breakdown sometimes, but I will try.
His wife made me a load of them and wanted some powder, seems like a good barter.

I once had pineapple tamales, don't know where that recipe originated from, but it was a Latin food restaurant in NY that serves all kinds of cuisine, from Mexican, to Brazilian, Peruvian, etc.

Hey THP,
sorry for not getting you the recipe yet, these guys skeak little english and writing is more of a problem. I'm working on a translation and you could probably find other recipes, but when I get it I will post it, they are worth it and tasty.

PS what is your name besides thehotpepper.com?
