Tamale Tuesdays at Taquiera

Thanks to some Twitter intel, we've found out that Taquiera is currently offering Tamale Tuesdays - all day tamales every Tuesday. Get thee to Notting Hill!

Amy's ready-meal tamales

We had to try these ready meal tamales by Amy's Kitchen after spotting them in the Whole Foods freezer section...



Unfortunately they're pretty bland and needed lots of extra accompaniments to make them tasty and a satisfying meal. Verdict: make your own or buy from Tamales Online instead.

Tamalera: tamales in North London

I just got an email from Kathryn at Tamalera, alerting me to her small company selling yummy tamales to us Londoners. With a mix of traditional and local ingredients (beef from Smithfield market, and a veggie roasted jalapeno option), these sound super delicious.

They sell at Archway market every Saturday, with plans to expand soon and offer delivery. Tamale Spotting will be paying them a visit soon for an on-the-ground report.. has anyone else been to check them out?

Update: Tamalera have moved to Tachbrook street market near Victoria.
