Well then I guess my tamales were "authentic"

Not! They were Aztec tamakes. They were invented before Mexico existed.
You could have said Linda's Pre-Mexican tamales. I always check to ensure
things are "authentic" before I eat them. I don't care how good it is, if
it's not "authentic" I give it to the cat.

Btw folks, tomorrow I'll have some of the best Tex-Mex enchiladas in Texas.
They are found at Snapka's Drive Inn in Corpus Christi, Texas. The large
order is $3.50 without rice and beans. It's not much in the style and dash
department
but that lusty chili gravy forms a tidepool around cheese stuffed red corn
tortillas with crisp chopped onions on top.
I've been going there since I was a kid. The same owner and one of the
car-hops used to chide me as a kid. I always tip her
very well.... revisiting my childhood.

To prove it's "authentic", it's called "Enchilada" which means "tortilla
cooked with some chile", very literally into English, "en-chile-ated". So
that proves it! :-) Nothing for the cat.
