This emoji shows a "tamale," which is made by filling corn dough with meat or cheese, wrapping it in a corn husk, and steaming it. It's similar to Brazil's "pamonha," so you can use it when introducing South American food.

In Mexico, tamales are a food that families gather to make together on special occasions like Christmas or the "Day of the Dead." Therefore, this emoji is used not just for the food itself, but also to convey the warm and joyful atmosphere of a festival or family gathering.
