So often people making traditional foods try them and go yuk. It makes me happy that Hannah genuinely seems to like so much of the food she makes

This is quickly becoming my favorite show on Tasty!

My Grandma just made us 200 tamales by accident because she miscounted the amount of ingredients she needed! 😂

"People had to do this" my grandma still does it and many more women for the whole big families. I miss my grandma I haven't seen her in ages 😭 Edit: thank for saying tamal instead of tamale. 😊

I am amazed that Hannah used the 'METATE' aka "the grinding machine", wow!!! I am from Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico and in my region we have a kind of tamales called "tamales de ceniza" (Ash tamales). I should say that every mexican state or region has its own kind of tamales. The turkey seems yummy, although, her 'masa' is a little weird for me, maybe it needs more water or, due that the tamal is from mayan heritage, could be different... In a second thought, the tamales seems the kind that are made in Oaxaca state, but the 'masa' is dissimilar. As mexican, I applaud her attempt, but she needs a 'vaporera' (a really big pot called in English 'tamales steamer'), and if she can't make a hole in the ground, the 'vaporera' could be put on the stove, not in the oven, that way the cooking is a little bit different, but the results (flavor, odor, taste) are worth it.

Corn Husks: *Exist* South America: "I'm gonna do what's called a pro-gamer move"

my grandma had that grinding tool long before any grinder or electric mixers came.. for hours

With how painful that grinding looks it seems like Hanna's a bit of a "Masa"chist I'm hilarious.

Most people watching probably won't remember that Hannah was a pioneer of the internet cooking show.

Am so happy everytime that Guatemala gets mention.

This series check boxes all my interests: cooking, history, and a super likable and enthusiastic host!

That’s more or less how we still do tamales in Guatemala 😋

technically it was the conquistadors who didn't leave the mayan recipe books

In Guatemala. We use a lot the Banana Leaves, cuz it gives a lot of flavor and aroma. And we use Turkey, Chicken, Pork, and few other meats to have variety of flavors. Tamales are just perfection.

Now you know where the phrase "the daily grind" came from.

Gave her a like for the self-high five. She's fricken adorable.

... some of you make me laugh like did you not hear what the historian said . she told hanna how it was made back then a long time ago and thats how hanna made it .... so why some of you keep saying she did it wrong thats not how you do it? like lol she did it correctly as the HISTORIAN told her. and its been thousands of years so of course now people make it a little different . and even different countrys , to different places in that same country to every family make it different . i make it different to how your family makes it and so on . so there isnt a correct or wrong way as long as it taste good and its cooked and still resembles the first one as the historian told hanna to make ..... ... if anything everyone is making it wrong lol if you are not making it like in this video then you made it wrong . since thats how they did it back then correct thats the correct way right lol everyone makes it a little different

Fitting that this was uploaded on the 500th anniversary of the meeting of Cortes and Montezuma II... though Banana leaves were certainly not used in traditional Mesoamerican Tamales, seeing as how it's a Southeast Asian plant, and we do, in fact, have descriptions and some recipes for various Tamales, Tortillas, Moles, etc used in Aztec, Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec, etc cuisine; especially for the Aztec, where the Friar Sahagun records a great detail of examples in his A History of the Things of New Spain (which in general talks about aztec society, customs, history, worldview, etc in detail). For example, he describes a white, "pellet shaped" tamale with beans rolled into the dough to create a sell-shell spiral shape, sort of like the spiral you see on cinnamon rolls; and a choclate drink sweetened with Honey, dried, crushed up flowers, and green vanilla pods. I believe there's a book called "America's First Cuisuines" by Sophie Coe which touches on both these Aztec examples and other foods from Mesoamerican and presumbly other Native American cuisines.

I genuinely do appreciate this series. Hannah is so much fun

I love her!!! Thank you for showing how to make them makes me appreciate my grandmother stories so much more!!! Also, thank you for using correct pronunciation... you’ve become my favorite on tasty because you genuinely care about history n culture.

These came out so adorable! Thank you for taking the time to learn about something that’s a big part of my culture, I’m so happy to see others enjoying part of it! 🥰

I appreciate the research that went into this, and the correct pronunciation of Tamal. Good on you guys, love this series.

She has such a soothing voice! I could listen to her for hours..

"People like to do this every day... for hours"- we needed our tortillas one way or another.

I was about to comment that she looked exactly like Hannah Hart but oh shit. Didn't realise she worked at tasty now.

I must say, this is my favourite segment of Tasty. The concept is very interesting and Hannah Hart seems to me the coolest person ever. Hope it never ends ....

Wow I’ve never just happened to be on KZfaq when a video is uploaded.

She's adorbs. I've introduced my old foodie friends, and they're all fans now. Great ideas for new/old creations!

My husband's country of Costa Rica make their tamales with banana leaves and I love the taste it gives to the tamales when I go visit.

Im starting to love her. She's perfect for this.

Tasty is the best I love the easy recipes and great explanations. I watch your videos daily just to learn new recipes for my channel. Thank You keep up the good work

Hannah is so fun, she is like the perfect person for this show, I love it!!!!

Educational, soothing and zany! I love your videos Hannah :)

I'm really loving this series and Hannah is perfect for it.

guatemala!!!! my dad side back home makes it like this still and my mom side from mexico makes it with the corn husk but dad side guatemala makes it with the banana leaf

Still loving this show. :) Ty Hannah! Keep it up :D

I just love Hannah, whichever video I see her in. She's so full of joy, pure fun and satire. I feel like she'd be an awesome person to grab a coffee (or a few beers) with.

Love this show so much!!! Looove it!!!

It's really nice!! Love it

I really love this show it combines my true loves food and history

Tasty did posted this on the perfect day I'm having tamales for dinner

Hannah, you got my "Hart" 💓💓💓

This concept is so much fun! I love these types of challenges. I have so much fun doing challenges just like these on my channel

Your videos are so awesome i love watching tasty videos with explanations kind of reminds me of good eats from food network!!! That’s also why i love tasty 101

”Deh BananA leAf” Tbh the jokes she made throughout the entire video are gold 😂

Tasty really needs to become a TV channel with all these little shows being actual TV shows.

Hannah is a great entertainer, I love watching everything you are doing!

and another amazing history lesson from the best history teacher ever 😊

This was a great episode 😊 And I love the fact that Hannah said tamal instead of tamale 👌👌

I love these videos 🖤

Tasty, great video! Enjoy your Friday! 💯🙏🙌

Wow I loved watching this! My parents are Guatemalan and this is what I miss so much from home 😢 Sadly there’s not a good place here in Canada that is even remotely close to the ones back home

The technique with the banana leaf is used to make paturi, a bengali dish . Infact it is used for various other food and its subsequent purposes.

I love how you made The Yucateco Tamale. You didn’t add any strange ingredients in it. My family is from the Chihuahua and from Yucatán so we make both type of tamales for Christmas.

Love this series

I live in yucatan where they still make mucbi pollo like this. Mucbi pollo it's a traditional tamal and we eat it in special occasions which are like the day of the death and its available all October

You're hilarious! Yet cool.yet silly- yet cool and i follow your recipes and they're great

Loving the "it looks like [name] in [country]". Maíz is a huge part of a lot of native cultures identity. In Yucatán, Mx we do (almost) exactly that recipie ony on Día de Muertos

"It's hard to express what you KNEAD" 😂

Non stop laughing when I watch her. And I learn cool stuff, too.

Wow you put so much of hard work to your videos 😊 keep cooking 👍

Hell yeah we’re the originators!!! (Guatemala)

One of the foods that I used to think is gross when I was young but I love now.

Loooooove Achiote! I was introduced when learning to make Pozole! ❤

I did not think it was possible to love Hannah any more. And then she got down and hand ground Masa. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A couple of things I wasn't expecting: her making the Masa from literal scratch, since she's using turkey sounds like a healthy filling (The most common tamales filling is pork), and the Chile habanero cuz I've seen three different chilli peppers like Chile ancho, huajillo and hmm forgot that last one.

Tamales in Gutemala are still round just like in the painting from the Mayas they are called chuchitos, in Mexico they made it flat, but ours is round

So cute! So funny! Love this series!

Brownie points for ACTUALLY using a metate and making your own masa, you’re bad ass Hannah! I want more of this show!!

Professional, yet entertaining. Well done!

I think i got my self a new fav chef . You got my hart dear .

My fave show on Tasty!

I will use 4-5 peppers I really love spicy food. Thinking to do spicy food challenge in channel soon

7:52 - ah the mating call of the Tamales.

Oh god, I was cry-laughing after she said "It's hard to express what you kneed."

Iguana tamale next!

I LOVE THIS WOMAN PUT HER IN ALL THE VIDEOS

This and eating your feed are my favorite

Indonesia has something like this, but we use rice instead of corn. We called it 'lontong isi'. If it doesn't has filling then it's 'lontong' or 'buras' or 'ketupat'. Usually we filled 'lontong isi' with chicken or veggies and we add a whole chilli in the middle then we steam it. We can use glutinous rice or normal rice. But for buras, we add coconut milk to the rice before we steam it.

i didn't really think about it until now but tamales are similar to a bangladeshi food called bhapa pitha, which is a steamed ball/dome of freshly ground rice flour (we also use a stone tool that looks just like the one in this video!) and is filled with coconut and palm sugar instead of savoury fillings.

In our home we still use this grinding machine to make garlic or ginger paste 😄

Our ancestors definitely worked very hard to make tasty tamales. You should visit Merida, I am sure Yucatan food will be one of your favorites (or southern Mexican food overall)

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! BY FAR MY FAVORITE EPISODE!!!! SALVADOREAN TAMALES ARE STILL MADE LIKE THAT!! My mom makes them all the time! If you guys ever want to taste them. I GOT YOU!

THEY SAY I CALMED DOWN SINCE THE LAST ALBUMMM-

This reminds me of the Chinese zongzi. People wrap the glutinous rice in leaves as well, the rice generally has fillings like salted egg with fatty pork, chicken or red bean paste. You normally steam them tho. This tamale recipe seems like something that I would like eating, being spicy and stuff.

She is awesome!!! I want more vids with her!

Modern Tamale are made almost the same, just you add some shortening to the masa, and some baking powder to make them fluffier. The fillings can be almost anything from Beans, zucchini, cheese, chicken, pork, with any salsa, red, green, etc, to even sweet tamale fillings such as berries,fruit and other candied preserves, to Nutella, anise, chocolate, and you can go wild with the possibilities...

i love her energy

Wow in almost every Mexican home there's a Grandma, aunt and mom making tamales like every day. In my family they make it at least once a month (You know as for birthdays, festivities or out of boredom)

Try delia's tamales they are a south Texas food chain right along the border in the Rio Grande Valley and they recently last year they made it so you can order from anywhere in the United States. They are some of the best tamales I have eaten.

Plz make ancient dumplings next!! 😆🙏🏻

I have never seen masa done like this before. Usually we grind the corn first and then cook it.

We have like that in Philippines! ❤️

We still use that for grinding in India, I just feel like stuff tastes better like that

Excellent!

My family is from Guatemala and another type of leaf that's used to wrap tamales is called "maxan"

I like this series.

She is so funny!!! I'm here for ALLLL the puns 😂

To grind the corn you have to use force and go back & forth. In our country, Bangladesh, we still have this sort of hand grinder, made from stone. We call them 'Shil-Pata'... To make any paste or powder of anything they are still the best than any other electronic gadgets!!!

My mother would have made me use the broth to wash out the molcajete where the seasoning was and then pour it into the filling, you👏🏻 cant👏🏻 waste👏🏻!
