We considered it our duty as hungry earthlings to eat as many tamales as it takes to ensure we're never called up for NASA's astronaut program.<p>The tamale heroes who run Tamale Spaceship wear <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucha_libre">Mexican wrestling masks</a>.

It's like finding a store selling an Isadora Duncan commemorative scarf.<p>Nonetheless, freelance radio producer Melissa LaCasse and I decided to try the one offered by <a href="http://thebreslin.com/">The Breslin</a> in New York, listed as "fried peanut butter & banana sandwich with bourbon & vanilla."<p><strong> Melissa:</strong> How many of these do you sell?

The timing couldn't be better, as it'll help you gain that final pesky 75 pounds before hitting the beach.<p>We don't have access to a Carl's Jr. here in Chicago, but luckily, we were able to re-create the sandwich using items procured from our office vending machine.

It's nice.
