garibaldi tamale slow fast food

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.

I tried the link but it would not open. I remember Garibaldi from my youth in Oakland, California. I'd like to learn where I can purchase Garibaldi or Golden West Tamales.

I buy Girabaldi at Food 4 Less. In the frozen section next to the cheap microwave burritos. They use to do the Far West years ago which I preferred

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.

Cannot find these any more at our stores in Washington state. Where can we buy? These have been our favorites for many years and we are very sad we can't find them anymore.
