Proposed merge into tamal page

There is already a good article on tamales that this article can be merged into. I added some pictures of nacatamales - I believe the steamer in this picture is the same one used on the tamal page - makes for a nice size comparison. Dr d12 23:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am copying the above message to talk:tamale, which is where the Discuss link points. -- trlkly 08:25, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Servings?

Is one nacatamal equal to one serving or do 2-3 people share one like with a pizza?Trcunning 16:22, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Depending on the person, as you know its not everyone that can afford to cook a meal like this. A nacatamal to Nicaraguans is considered a full meal, i mean, why not? It certainly seems like it has a bit of everything. They are eaten morning, noon or night, they're popular on Saturday when food sellers in Granada and Managua (and other places) have them readily available for __ cordobas. Depending on the person, but one does not usually share a nacatamal, and yes it is equal to three or four regular tamales form elsewhere. LaNicoya •TALK• 21:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of "nacatamal"

RAE states: nacatamal. (Del nahua nacatl, carne, y tamalli, tamal). [1]
This recent article in the Honduran newspaper La Tribuna states: El nacatamal viene de dos raíces gramaticales. “Naca: carne, mal: masa o maíz”. [2]
The word "tamal" comes from the Nahuatl but Nahuatl was not spoken in Honduras or Nicaragua where the word "nacatamal" is used.

Can anybody shed more light? — Hippietrail (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Only Nicaraguan??

Hondurans eat them too, I should know, I am Honduran. I also ate nacatamales when I lived in Honduras. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.181.71.161 (talk) 02:44, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
