I enjoyed the corn husk with my first tamale. Wouldn't repeat that mistake, since I doubt I'd be as lucky.
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
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.
Yep! Same.
Never live that down.

Reviewing it while eating it.
Yikes! I'd be so mortified!
Also... dang who'd even attempt to eat the husk? Imagine the horrified looks she got lol
Anyone remember the tamale lady at Zeitgeist? iykyk
