As I recall, hors devoures consisted of La Choy® Frozen Mini-Eggrolls™, Tostino® Pizza Rolls™ and Kellogg's® Pop Tarts™. There was Ritz® Mock Apple Pie™ and Jello® Banana flavored* Instant Pudding™ pie topped with Nabisco® Nilla Vanilla™ wafers and Coolwhip™ for dessert.
The Slyder™ stuffing was quite tasty (in a slider way), but was on the mushy side. Some crunchy celery might have added some needed texture, but introducing fresh vegetables to the meal would have spoiled the authenticity.

Kind of far from their usual haunts. Must be someone up this way likes them. But there were a hundred or more, on sale 10 for $10. So I bought two, never having had a Tom Tom Tamale before, but having heard of them often (especially in presentations by Rene G). Still thawing, so I figure I'll have my first taste tomorrow. But still amused at having found this South Side tradition in the far NW suburbs.
