Tamales are something that is done in all parts of Mexico and parts of Central America. My mom makes Guatemalan tamales and these are VERY different from the way this guy makes them (he's from Puebla, a region almost 1, 000 miles away from Guatemala. In Guatemala this dish he calls a tamal is called a chuchito. And Guatemalans use tomato sauce and not mole. Mole is not a big thing in Guatemala. And Guatemalans wrap the whole corn masa around the tomato sauce and meat; they don't leave it out like this guy does. It's interesting to see how different regions do tamales in Mesoamerica.

Ill bet money that Fernando is an illegal. Legal immigrants want to show respect for the country that allowed them to escape from their toilet homelands and they do that in part by learning English. Illegals dont care. They surround themselves with other illegals because they hate Americans and they pretend that they are still in Mexico or whatever other Hispanic cesspool country they are from.

I too am trying to recapture the flavors of my childhood. Everyone is dead and gone, there is no one to tell me so I'm going by flavor and texture also. I made a Mole Poblano that was awesome. I tried to make Chuchitos, the flavor was right but the texture of the masa after steaming wasn't right. I was just about to throw everything away but after watching this I'm going to try again.

This is probably the best food video ever. Incredible narrator. Food looks delicious and amazing process - nothing spared no corners cut. Above all is his deep almost spiritual connection with his grandma and his indigenous roots - just Amazing. Thanks for posting. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico

Ive never met this man may never have the opportunity to do so, but I couldnt help but love him like a brother when he spoke of his abuelas, and showed his humility and amazing determination to replicate those lost recipes! Like they say on Star Trek, Live Long And Prosper! Thanks for your dedication!

Knowing that these recipes have never been written down, whenever I make something that my child loves I carefully write out the recipe and put it in a special box for them when they are grown. When I am gone they'll still be able to make the foods I made with love and remember their childhood.

His story of him finding his grandmother's recipe is so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Its truly a gift to find yourself back in those moments that you can call bliss and remember loved ones you have lost. I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to some day taste these tamales

I think in some way, going futher into the future, we lost our past, our culture, old ways of cooking. And this video shows the future, no Michelin stars, no fancy stuff, but culture and old, forgotten ways of cooking will be the next big thing in next few years.

I love this video. Not because of the food, which is sublime. I love it because this man is reconnecting with his earliest memories, with his granny and with generations past through the food. And that made me cry
