my tamale addiction goes back to a central american hitch hiking trip way back when...

spent about a month criss-crossing mexico eating mostly street food. the tamale and the torta being my fav's. delicious regional variations. it had been a few years since forgetting about my temporary crown on one of my left lower molars. i thumbed my way down to Belize, a country that bares little resemblance to Mexico. take your typical chicken tamale. all variations on that theme in mexico featured shredded chicken, diced chicken, chicken chunks.

well in Belize i discovered they'll just put a whole drumstick in a tamale. mmm, but ouch that shit can wreak havoc if.... thankfully i bit the bone on the right side of my mouth and did no hardware damage.

the garibaldi tamale doesn't really resemble it's central american counterpart but it holds it's own. it comes frozen. so yeah it's pretty convenient and tasty. but you have to steam it for 45 minutes. nuking is an option but steaming is recommended.

Beware of Garibaldi tamales if you're on a sodium restricted diet; they're a
stroke waiting to happen. The US recommended daily intake of sodium is 2500 mg; a sodium restricted diet is usally around 2000 Now,consider their beef tamale; they classify. 1/2 tamale a "serving," and that has a total of 2160 mg. sodium, Supposing you eat both halves (as most people can easily do) =- that's 4320 mg sodium. 173% higher of the US RDI and 216% of a 2000 mg./day sodium restrcted
diet.

Upshot: A younf person in good health should have no problems with them, I wouldn't advise feeding one to your old ma.

I'd like to learn how to obtain Garibaldi or Golden West tamales and have them shipped to Fort Lauderdale, Florida at reasonable cost. The factory in San Francisco charges an outlandish price for shipping.

Just returned from Fred Meyers (on Division) and a gentleman worker there said that they were discontinued and he didn't know where in Spokane they are being sold boohoo! The Turkey Tamales were delicious! If you should happen upon them please let me know! I think I will try the Grocery Outlet on Division and Lincoln.

Robert in Vancouver WA. And I would be very interested in anyplace you can find in the Portland area. I did find them in the only grocery store in Amboy Wa, but on my last trip there they had just quit selling them for no reason that I could figure. I sure miss them, and look forward to finding a place here in the Portland Area.where they might have them. I did ordre some from them directly but it was very costly and they were half melted in my Mailbox.

Can't find a store locally to purchase Garibaldi Beef Tamales.
Use to buy them at Safeway but they no longer carry them.
Can't I buy directly from the company?
Can't find who the actual makers are or a website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I literally grew up eating the Garabaldi tamales in the San Francisco bay area. There is nothing to compare to compare to this tamale. Until 2 years ago I could find them at the Raleys store in the Reno-Sparks area of Nevada, but no longer. Where can I purchase them?
