You can get fresh tamales at a nearly any hispanic corner shop, or they also come in cans at your local grocery store. Or make them of course, but that counters the "quick fix" part of it.

Sounds gorgeous. I wish we had hispanic corner shops in England.

Whats a tamale?

Silly brits...

Tamales consist of a finely chooped beef with a large variety of seasoning (usually hot) wrapped in a corn husk.

Wiki's definition

Tamales are a staple food here in Texas.

I love mashed potatos and grape jelly. (you really must try it.)
Scrambled eggs with ketchup is also delicious.

Chunky peanut butter goes rather nicely in soup.

4 cups chicken broth
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter

1. In 1-quart saucepan add broth and chili peppers and bring mixture to a boil. Stir in bell pepper and onion and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

2. Reduce heat to lowest possible temperature; add peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is well blended.

Even better with some habanero sauce.

I'm told I eat nothing "weird," though dill pickle chip dip is "gross."

No offense, but the day I begin taking "hispanic" recipe tips from an Australian will be the day you can drag me into the street and shoot me.

I live in Texas bro. Whites are a minority here to the Mexican population, so I think I know what I'm talking about. I eat/prepare/cook just about as much mexican food as the average Mexican here.

This "corn paste" you're referring to might be how they do it down in Australia, but here we do it the right way with shreddered beef, jalepanos, (or bell peppers if you're a sissy) chile sauce, and maybe some onions if you like em.
