The tamale grosses you out?

I am.. confused. Unless tamale is also a euphemism for something else.

Shrimp heads? Eyes and antennas.

Utterly incomprehensible how anyone eats that on purpose

Not that I can think of.

Shrimp heads = ikky. You missed my reaction to them at the dinner after the shorts screening. Tamale = ikky too. My mom loves it and her bother loves the eggs. But give me a Nova Scotia lobster - steamed with a side of lemon and a side of butter and I'm in heaven. Just keep the tamale away from me.

Clearly you have not been eating the right tamales. That's all I have to say.

I was never a big fan of shrimp to start with, but my first trip to Japan almost 20 years ago sealed the deal for me. My dad and I arrived late at our Osaka hotel on the first night of the trip, so we went to the in-house teppanyaki bar for a bite. First, the chef brought out some beautiful slices of beef, then some chicken... so far so good. Then, he brought out a tray with a few live jumbo shrimp, under a piece of saran wrap. He took a shrimp and forcefully shoved it onto the hot grill right in front of me. I was face-to-face with the little bottom feeder and the air escaping from his exoskeleton sounded like a high-pitched scream as it died in front of me.

Maybe I'll pick up some peeps for dessert tonight (I don't want to stray too far from the OP).

I think she's talking about "tomalley", the digestive gland.

Oh, yes, quite.

I've created a guide to eating tamales.

My guide to eating tomalley? Stay away.

Blame that on Americans' inability to pronounce "tamale" correctly.
