I went to the world's largest tamale festival in Indio--I believe it was the first weekend in December. The event was enormous, spanning several blocks. There were hundreds of different kinds of tamales, from the traditional to the ridiculously gourmet and just plain odd. I think I ate about 12 tamales that day, including a guava and cheese, a grilled chicken and mango with ginger and habanero BBQ sauce, and a turkey with sweet potato and cranberry. But my favorite, of course, was the Belgian chocolate with fresh raspberries and carmelized walnuts--tamale.
Oh, and also, there was a trained monkey.
