Has anyone ever tasted tamales, made out of the leaves of the Banana tree?

I once had a neighbor who came from the interior of Mexico, and she used to make those Tamales, and rolled them up on the leaves of the Banana tree, once when I saw her do it I asked her how they tasted like and she gave me one to taste, they tasted better than the one's you make from Corn Husks.

    Yes, bannas leaves steam the tamale much better then a corn husk. Bannana leaves are awesome for wrapping up and steaming fish over a hot grille.

    I've had them too. They make them that way in Yucatan, with fruit and nuts inside, mixed with the meat. They're great!
