Tamal is a typical American dish that usually contains cornmeal, pork or chicken and some vegetables. It is always wrapped in banana leaves and steam-cooked. Each tamale is basically the portion of a person. In Venezuela and most of Colombia are also called Hallacas or Hayacas. There is great diversity all over America. In my land is very famous and desired Tamal Tolimense. In Colombia in a pejorative way, fat woman and poorly dressed.
