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.
The husk is the best part. It’s where all the fiber is.
The first time i had edemame i ate the whole pod a couple times and was like “this cant be right” and googled it and felt so betrayed by the people at the table that let me just do that to myself
… i need to try edamame again…
Yep! Same.
Never live that down.
Ahaha, Uncle told me wasabi was ice cream for men when I was a kid, and wanting to pretend I was one of them, them I said it was great.
I’ve always been eating the husk. And liking it
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 🤷♂️
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.
that is the most funniest thing ive ever seen :)
Not the first time I’ve seen that happen.
Seems like something you would try and immediately realize your mistake then change your approach.
This reads like a person who eats the bones in their KFC.
Instead of immediately realizing your mistake, you double down and leave a bad review on the thing you’ve literally had once, evidenced by the fact you did it wrong. Wild.
“Why do Mexicans eat this?!”
Had christmas dinner at the construction company i worked at when i was 19, did the same thing and reeeaaallly tried to eat the husk, no one said a thing but when i looked at the guy who brought them to ask about it he busted out laughing along with most others.
It indeed was the best tamale i ever had once i unwrapped it. I think the shame added extra flavor.
“The shame” I imagine you just walking around sulking the rest of the day, shoulders hunched over and trying to avoid your coworkers for fear of being made fun of.

If it’s anything like every Blue Collar job I’ve ever worked
They will never let him live it down ever.
Hey look it’s Husk Boy. Whatcha doing Husk Boy? How’d that tamale taste (6 years ago)?
I learned this when I moved to NM. Fortunately, I saw others take the husk off before I got mine, or I would have tried to eat it like a burrito. Ya don’t know what ya don’t know. You just try to adapt past experience that seems related, make adjustments as you go, and hope for the best.
I was today years old when I learned you’re not supposed to eat the corn leaf
When you’re a child and handed food by an adult and they say, “hey try this” and do not inform you that the wrapper that looks like food is not actually edible or supposed to be eaten, this is what happens.
Nobody even told me I was supposed to remove the corn husk after I said it was gross! I didn’t find out until years later when someone gave me an unhusked tamale and I didn’t know what it was!
Yeah, what one person knows another does not! I was lucky with the tamales. I was told when handed them.
I still tried to eat the wrapper cause the tamales were delicious and I wanted more delicious though…
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 have an aunt who eat kiwi fruit like an apple. Just hold it in your hand, and bite. She chews it with and all.
She’s otherwise a normal and kind person.
It’s good this way.
It’s not like a banana or a watermelon or something. The only reason people think it’s weird is the texture, but by the time you’re chewing the bite it’s not evident. I wouldn’t lick a kiwi or run my lips on it unless you’re a total weirdo, but I can recommend eating it whole. It adds just a little tart flavor and a little more crunch to the experience (and also you don’t need a spoon anymore).
