Tamales! Who else loves them?!
So you all are talking about Mexican tamales- has anyone ever had Colombian or Venezuelan tamales? Those are my favorite by far. I think the masa is much tastier and there is a huge variety of fillings - chicken, pork, garbanzos, capers, olives, raisins, onions... to name a few. The biggest difference, though, is that they are wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn husks. So good!! I know there used to be a lady selling homemade ones on 49th St off of 6th but that was a couple of years ago. Not sure where else they are available (although admittedly I haven't looked too far). If you ever get a chance you should definitely try them! (They're also sometimes called ayacas - but there is some debate in my family at least as to whether tamales = ayacas)

Gotta be canned whole tomatoes just like many people who have commented so far. And boxed chicken broth as well. Always have a stock of these in my pantry!

Ooh, my favorite Easter food is definitely ham. A nice baked ham basted with honey, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and a little bit of soy sauce. Baked in the oven until the edges are crispy. My family can't wait until we sit down to eat. We all stand over the stove after the ham has come out to slice off thin slices of that delicious caramelized edge of the ham.
