These pics may not be theirs, their other pics aren’t so professional (but everything looks good anyway)
Are the fucking shells in there??
That’s not mexican Food….In all my lyfe is the first time i saw this … IM MEXICAN.
So wrong.
That looks like a nightmare to eat. I’m sure it tastes good
Mexican food you can call it, enchiladas, carnitas, mole poblano, cochinita pibil, etc. Not something that is only known in 1 state in 3.
Personally, I like to be able to bite all the way through my tamale, not have to pick through it. That is my personal preference.
Pero que mierda es esto?
I mean, I thought the point was to have an easy portable meal to eat in bites without having to pick it apart in it’s origin. You don’t throw chicken bones onto the mass for chicken tamales.
I can steam the mussels -> save the broth for the masa -> remove the mussels off its shell then incorporate it. Why do it this way I wonder. What do I know I’m just a cook. I’ve seen this tamales on Eater though.
Para cuando termine de quitar las conchas del tamal, ya va a estar toda fría la masa…
Que pendejada…
Just because you can throw it in there doesn’t mean you should.
I’d go for ‘em! No different from eating mussels in most other dishes.
In this thread: justa bunch of chilangos and pochos scared of actual mexican food.
For a quick second in thought I was in the r/stupidfood sub,
This should have been posted on the stupid food subreddit lol, what the heck is this? I’ve had seafood tamales before, but never like this! Wouldn’t it be easier to just cook the mussels and discard the shell? The heck
That doesn’t look good at all. If I was starving in Alaska I might try a bite but. Think about what you are posting. Ew.
Everyone in this tread is stupid as fuck and a bunch of uncultured swines. I just see a bunch of white people complaining about a food they will never been able to eat or even been serve at your local shitty food joint in the USA.
Those are called “tamales de tichinda” and is an African-Mexican dish from the Costa Chica between Guerrero and Oaxaca. I now that is not the best looking dish in the world, but is really delicious.
