Soulshine

Day 3 in Oxford, Mississippi brought our cohort of scholars to Soulshine Pizza Factory for pizza and tamales (upon Amy's suggestion). We sat out on the side porch to enjoy the "cool" 80 degree weather. The hot tamales were de-licious! They were much smaller than the tamales I have had up north, but surprisingly they are actually "large" for Delta tamales. These tamales were made with cornmeal and beef, and were much dryer than other Delta tamales which tend to be served with a type of sauce made of their own juices.

After sampling a few tamales we ordered our main dish: The Kitchen Sink pizza (marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, chopped tomatoes, pepperoni, Italian sausage, sauteed bell peppers, sauteed onion, button mushrooms and black olives). YUM! The crust was a bit thicker than I am used to (what can I say, I love New Haven thin crust), but overall the pizza was really satisfying!
