Dry as the Saharan desert
Driest tamale I've ever had. They we're tightly packed in a bag that made them all square. After warming and unrolling the tamales from what looks like a square piece of paper it was a pile of dry crumbly masa and the pork had very little red chile taste. The next ones I removed the faux corn husk first and they were dry before warming but stayed together and I poured some melted butter on them after warming to add moisture. The entire dozen were identical. The tamales arrived partially frozen as the plastic bag holding them and the dry ice was not tied shut (dry ice had evaporated ) and the bagged tamales were outside the bag.
