Tamal Fair in Aserri
This Weekend
Some of the country's
best tamales can be
savoured at the annual
Feria del Tamal that
begins today in Aserri,
south of San José.
The Tamal is a Costa
Rican traditional
Christmas food, but it
also available all year
round and are made up
from products that make
the "canasta basica"
(basic food basket).
Tamales can be enjoyed
for breakfast, lunch and
just about anytime.
Different recipes are
available on the
internet.
Our favourite includes
pork, rice and herbs,
cooked in a corn Maza
wrapped in a banana
husk.
This weekend marks the
fifth annual Tamal fair.
The fair goes on all
weekend and next with
different activities
that include music and
traditioal dancers.
