I had the very same tamales at a festival in Eugene, OR back in the late 90's and after moving to Georgia in 2001 I actually spent an entire Friday hitting every supermercado in Athens, GA hoping to find the same tamales. Never found them. So I was thrilled just now to Google a tamale recipe with raisins and olives and have your recipe pop up mentioning Eugene!
