available. This was a great experience for my roommate Shun, who never had either pambazo or tamales. The pambazo sandwich was filled with sausage bits, cheese and fresh lettuce, as well the hot and savoury condiments and sauce as the binder. To Shun, tamale was similar the dragon boat wrapped dumplings made with bamboo leaves and sticky rice in China, whereas\u00a0tamale was made with corn husk and masa, showing very similar looks, texture, and taste! It was all very fascinating to him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14850\" style=\"width: 3599px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
