I found the crown jewel of Delta Hot Tamales

I'll bet my dad bought a bunch from her over the years. It might have been her or another woman around Memphis but we had been buying them for ourselves and then I decided to sell them in my store. We ended up buying 30 dozen at a time anytime she could make them. Sold out every single time.
 
We've got a Does up here in Paducah. Family of the one in MS if I understand it correctly. Anyway I ate it for the first time last weekend and of course got the tamales. They were good, served with a bowl of chili.
One day I'll make the trek down to the Delta and eat at the original and hunt ducks in that part of the world.
 
6 of these (maybe more)aren't making it until the weekend.
