Warning: do not listen to this story if you are hungry.  In what started as a simple craving for good Mexican food, KBIA producers Meredith Turk and John Farmer de la Torre discovered a small, but active group of tamale makers in Columbia, Missouri.   In fact, they stumbled upon the biggest Mexican tamale-making day of the year.  For this story, our sources only wanted us to use first names.
