Divine’s are good, but I don’t believe they make them. I’ll have to ask the owner, but they used to buy them frozen and re-heat them.

I've never come across ground beef tamales wrapped in corn husk. Even locally in Nola they are in paper. I would think corn is better. But that seems uncommmon.

In the delta region, I expect 95% of the tamales are wrapped in corn husks. Doe’s in Greenville is the only establishment I know that uses paper,though I’m sure there are others.

Then you should probably do more reading and less commenting in this thread. You're in over your head.

Or I learned that I assumed Delta tamales and Nola hot tamales were the same.
But apprently the husk is different.
Still both ground meat, corn flour and cooked in liquid. .
The few places i tried in delta were paper wrapped.
Sorry i insulted the culinary traditions of the shitiest part of the landmass.
The last ones i had in Delta were Fat Mamas. I thought they were paper but Google shows they were corn husk.
Anyway looks like that is the main difference between nola and delta style. I assumed they were the same.
