Oaxaca Tamales
“For centuries, Oaxaca tamales have been magnificent, but nowadays they arrive accompanied by a voice. The delivery bicycle carries a recorder with the most listened-to announcer in Mexico: ‘Tamales here! Oaxaca Tamales! Hot Tamales!’ The best part of these treats is the message they transmit. We all have twisted days when everything goes straight to hell and we feel a crown of thorns wrapping our temples, a pain no aspirin can alleviate. Then a sign of hope appears: life is a disaster, but the Oaxaca tamales are nice and hot.”
