Nope.  Eat em out of hand as you walk down the boulevarde.  Nuke em naked for a quick snack.  Or,
you can top them with a red chile sauce (NOT "Chili Sauce") or a salsa verde for a great
suppertime treat.

Here in South-Central California, we have our fair share of Hispanic immigrants, several of which
are very close friends of mine.  New Years eve we usually head over to one of their homes for
Tamales, and they rarely add anything other than a thin red or green chile sauce on top.  Oh, and
Menudo, too... they always have Menudo on New Year's Eve.  Delicious hot...but I have a freind who
eats it ice cold, with ice cubes in it.  yeah...he's Mexican, but.....that's just wrong.
