Bless her for trying to course correct.
Makes 100% sense too. The corn husk is the worst part of the tamal.
swallowing the cotton is the worse part of getting new medication
Eating peanuts is the worst part of getting a new package
The high you get from sucking the bubble wrap air is not worth the effort.
What do you guys to with the white rubbery thing after drinking your mozzarella?
I gagged
I give this lady so much respect. 1 for being honest enough to go back and change the review, and 2 tenacious enough to power through and eat through the husk.
First time I ever tried a real mango was when a coworker offered me a half she has already scored into squares. She handed it to me and I asked “How do I eat it?” She said, nonplussed “You just eat it.” “I just take a bite?” “Yeah.”
So I take a bite of this piece of fruit she handed me. As I force myself to chew and swallow this tough, bitter garbage fruit, I tell her “I don’t think it’s for me.” I look at her and apparently she had just been staring at me in open mouthed horror, instead of warning me “Don’t eat the skin!”
What the fuck did she expect you to do? She literally told you to just take a bite lol
I’ve never seen a tamale, let alone eaten one, but I was still pretty sure the corn husk wasn’t supposed to be eaten.
You are missing out my friend. Seriously one of the top foods
Do you mean the tamale or the corn husk?
I’ve had a couple over the years and was totally unimpressed. It wasn’t bad, just kinda bland mush. I guess it must vary a lot given how you’re rating it
There is a guy who shows up with a cooler full of piping hot tamales about once a week down the street. He puts up a little folding table, a crappy little chair and it’s cash only. $1 for the best fucking tamale ever made by man. It’s hard to make sure to get there before he sells out. It’s usually within an hour.
You have to get a good connect. You’ll find them where you least expect. I used to buy tamales from the place that refilled my propane tanks.
Somewhere in your city there exists a retired Mexican man driving an SUV with an Igloo cooler in the back full of 300 tamales his wife made this morning. There’s at least one in every big city. These are the tamales you want. You’ll find them at some random street corner near the Home Depot or near a mechanic’s shop and they are some of the best food you’ll ever eat.
You literally just described my hookup. He goes to the bars here in Houston. He also has homemade sauces his wife made in small containers that go with each half dozen sold or to buy a jar by itself. He comes out less often in the last year (gee, I fucking wonder why) but I got in good with him and have his number so he’ll meet me anytime between noon and midnight most days.
Anyone who wants a real tamale experience, listen to this person’s advice. And if you still don’t like them, well you gave them a fair shot. And that’s ok too.
The best tamales I’ve ever had have always been from random people who approach me in a Home Depot parking lot.
Everyone talking about how they didn’t know or should’ve known or whatever. Yeah ok.
Others saying it’s good she tried correcting her review, that’s good.
But why is no one commenting on how you shouldn’t review things you don’t understand?
Like, maybe all tamales are supposed to be eaten with the husk, and that’s how people do it and like it, but you just don’t like it. That’s fine, you just don’t like it!
A review is meant to tell other people who enjoy a thing, how good that thing is at whatever place you’re getting it from.
Imagine going to a 5 star restaurant, ordering chicken Cordon bleu, and then giving them a one star review because you don’t like chicken. Or salmon but you don’t like fish.
Just seems weird to me. I would never review a place badly because I didn’t like what I’d order, when it was literally the first time I’ve had it, evidenced in the case by the fact she didn’t know how to eat it properly.
Now if I’ve had something a few times, know I usually like it, but this time it was bad? Go wild 🤷♂️
People who don’t understand that they don’t understand things write reviews like this, and that is a lot more people than you might expect
I could see some white person getting tamales that came unwrapped being confused if served tamales in the husk. Altho I will admit that I feel this is a REALLY difficult mistake to make.
