Chile Today, Hot Tamale

Chile today, hot tamale (also written chili today, hot tamale) is an antiquated cliché. The term can best be described as a pun that uses food terms to describe a weather forecast.

The term most likely originates from the United States where the Spanish singular tamal is more commonly known as a tamale in English.

American etymologist Barry Popik lists the phrase in his “Texas (Lone Star State Dictionary)” and traces its use in published media back to 1928.[1]

Several products have employed the phrase in some fashion:

-Chile Today-Hot Tamale, Inc. – a New Jersey based brand of spices and seasonings acquired by Dave’s Gourmet in 2006 [2]
-ChileTodayHotTamale.net – a hot sauce company based in Madison, GA [3]

Josie and the Pussycats (TV series) episode 7 of season 1 is entitled “Chili Today And Hot Tamale.” The episode, originally airing in 1970, focuses on the band traveling to Mexico. [4]
