Bless her for trying to course correct.

swallowing the cotton is the worse part of getting new medication

What do you guys to with the white rubbery thing after drinking your mozzarella?

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.

Don't worry, Rebecca, I did this the first time I tried tamales, too.

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!

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!”

She’s so good.

Fuck I want a tamale.

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.

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.

Makes me wish Ken M was a Lemmy.

Someone who listened to others with knowledge and changed their view. That's fake AI review.

First time I ever had a steam bun I ate the paper on bottom thinking it was something like the rice paper candies 😅

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.

that is the most funniest thing ive ever seen :)

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.
