vee Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Beggars cant be choosers. Dont Carmelites, and other Orders, say "our" for everything meaning that nothing is an individual's own possession? It is all a gift form God and so is food. If Carmel is to be on the cross with Christ suffering for love of souls then souls are more important than food.

[/quote] As usual, I'm behind in responding to posts..... Tamales are wonderful and a staple of the diet in Mexico. If you are ever given a chance to try one, I'd recommend it--at least a taste. A tamale has a soft, ground corn outercoating. The inside filling can be almost anything, from chicken to fish to pork to beef to beans, etc. In fact, there is a restaurant in a town near me that specializes in tamales. Their best selling tamale is vegetarian, with a pumpkin filling! Although the edible part is soft, ground corn with a filling, it is cooked in an outer coating of corn husk (that you don't eat), so it can be easily cooked over a fire. (Although, nowadays, it is most often baked.) If I were better at posting images, I'd post a picture. National cuisines are so interesting! For example, in general, I enjoy British food (thanks to my English grandmother), but I can't imagine eating steak and kidney pie! (In general, I think most people in the U.S. do not eat many organ meats--although, as with anything, there are exceptions.) Edited September 28, 2011 by IgnatiusofLoyola

[/quote] Well I do declare! Laughing at those Sisters who were choking on every foreign bite and regretting the day they let colored people out of the field. Where aaaarreee your manners? Now go back and mop the floor 'for those nice white folks hang you from a tree...
vee Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 btw Im mocking all people who are racist, the south in general, and not the NDs as whole. There are racist people even in the Catholic Church, and even in religious life. That doesnt mean ALL Catholics are that way, or every member of a particular Community however it does exist, and its disgusting. We need to pray and sacrifice for an end to the hatred of racism, so maybe thats something one could offer up the next time they have to eat something they dont like. Offer it up for reparation and conversion of heart.
LaPetiteSoeur Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I LOVE tamales. When I worked in NJ, one of my coworkers was from Mexico and her mom used to bring us tamales. So, so, so, so good.
