This is a type of bread the Navajo make mostly while its corn picking time. First you take a fresh ear of corn and pull the shucks and set aside ,then cut the corn from the cob and mash it some then put a big spoon full on a shuck add a l;ittle salt then roll up the shuck and tie the end with cotton string and put it in the coals of a fire till done .Some Navajo have a oven that sort of looks like a igloo with a hole at the top and a hole in front for a door which you build a fire in and then when only coals remain rake them over to one side and put the bread on the floor of the oven and seal the openings with rocks and mud (the oven is built out of rocks and mud also)reaaly like a Italian oven .This sounds alot like a tamale and may well be the Navajo have alot of things they say they were the first to do but the Mexicans stole from them which Mexicans are just Indians theirselves when you get down to it. As this is its sort of plain tasting and the Navajo dont put the salt in it as all their cooking for their water has so much in it already. They tell me that they some times put meat in it or chili pepers too.Kind of really sounds like a tamale now.
