There is no such word as “tamale.” Two or more are tamales; one is a tamal. Common mistake but I’m surprised the NYT didn’t know this!

@dutchiris In my part of South Texas, adults took pride in teaching their children proper Spanish. We would have been quickly corrected if we said “tamale.” Or maybe even accused of being a gringo!
