Re: banana tamale wrapped in banana leaves
That's a great link, Kara. I'm going to keep it. When I lived on the Big Island, I used to buy pateles from a family by the side of the road. They were like the "pork pasteles" in the article, meat filled. My question is, are pasteles, and pateles the same thing? Perhaps I misunderstood the roadside sellers. A woman in my building works in a patele store in the Kalihi neighborhood of Honolulu. I swear that's how it sounds to me.
