Tamales are a traditional food eaten in Guatemala on special occasions, especially during Christmas time and other holidays. They are pouches of masa usually filled with meat, such as pork and chicken, but can also be filled with vegetables such as corn and potatoes, and are usually wrapped in banana leaves.
Most traditional foods in Guatemalan cuisine are based on Maya cuisine, with Spanish influence, and prominently feature corn, chilies and beans as key ingredients. Guatemala is famously home to the Hass avocado.[1]
There are also foods that are commonly eaten on certain days of the week. For example, it is a popular custom to eat paches (a kind of tamale made from potatoes) on Thursday. Certain dishes are also associated with special occasions, such as fiambre for All Saints Day on November 1 and tamales, which are common around Christmas.
