In honor of Hispanic History month we turn to the topic of stuffed food. I a study of stuffed foods provides a lens into different Hispanic food traditions over time, place, and space. For instance before 1492, the Spanish on the Iberian Peninsula stuffed breads with meats and vegetables which they called empanadas. In Mesoamerica Amerindians stuffed corn husk with ground corn, veggies, meats, fish, and poultry which they call tamales.
