I don't know why I didn't think about this before now. My brother works for Southern Tire Mart and goes to Zwolle, Louisiana every Friday to deliver tires and pick up old tires from his customers. About once a month, he'll bring me a dozen of the famous Zwolle Tamales, and he brought me a dozen today. He always brings me the mild because the medium Tamales will literally make your eyes water. I never have tried the hot because I don't have the guts to try them!
This past October was the
42nd Annual Zwolle Hot Tamale Fiesta/Festival, and of there were all the Tamales you could possibly eat and want - mild, medium and hot.
I'm adding a link to the recipe for the Zwolle Hot Tamales, and it's a really good recipe. I've made them before, but it's much easier for my brother just to buy them while he's in Zwolle which is 28 miles south from where I live. lol!
