God, I need to stop going to ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
food_porn (not what you think!) in the middle of the night - it always, always leaves me starving and craving the weirdest things. Right now, for example, I would kill for tamales, mac and cheese, and some fair food (deep-fried oreos ftw). The middle one is not a problem - I can get my mom to make mac and cheese if I ever talk to her again - but the fair isn't for months, and even then I may be in California already, I don't know. And the tamales...well, I live in /New Mexico/, so you'd think getting Mexican food items wouldn't be a problem, right? But no. I don't like Mexican style tamales at all. I grew up on my grandma's Gautemalan style tamales, and they are quite different - pork ribs rather than shredded pork, olives and capers to pick out, and a kind of thicker, spicy mole. So vastly superior! So does anyone know where I can get tamales like that? Because otherwise I'm stuck waiting until Christmas to get my tamale fix DDDDDX.
ETA: The State Fair opens on Sept 5th. I AM SO THERE. (hey, it's not like I make a /habit/ of eating deep-fried lard, okay? It's strictly a fair thing. Plus, cute animals! Random art! Other fair-type stuff!)
