What's the deal with tamales? The corn husk isn't edible, and it isn't solid enough to use as a plate or a wrapper, and the people who invented them wouldn't have had refrigerators so they'd have had to eat them right away, making them useless as a "fast food." How exactly were they convenient for anyone before the invention of the microwave?

I don't know what the deal is but you should post images of tamales and not what white people think tamales are. :P

If you don't want white people to think those are tamales, why do you go door to door selling them to white people?

These look like they have 3-4x the filling the average Mexican puts in them.

the corn husk is the vessel that the tamale is cooked in and it effects the moisture level and flavor

I think cooking in the husk imparts a flavor. My grandma is from Costa Rica and there they wrap their tamales in banana leaves. Fuck I love her tamales. She thinks Mexicans are filthy indians.

the husk is a container that you can steam them in so the flour takes shape.
They could've been stored in earthen pots without worry of spoilage.
