A tamale is a traditional Mesoamerican dish made of spiced meat or other fillings rolled in cornmeal dough. It is cooked by wrapping it in a cornhusk and either boiling or steaming it (steaming is more traditional). The cornhusk wrapper is removed before eating.

What does TU tamale mi mean?

Depends on the situation. The literal meaning of "tamale" is well known, it is a type of food very common in many latinoamerican countries. But the figurative meaning may vary. It can be very vulgar: "Hey, do you want to play with my tamale?" Or even grotesque: "That girl has a great tamale, my friend!" So, if you are part of a Spanish group, don't ever say to a girl: "Can I eat your tamale?" -not even in a restaurant.
