I think I just set the all-time record for the Whitest Girl In The Neighborhood, when I had to admit that I didn't know how to eat a tamale. What can I say? Danes don't do tamales. They don't do spicy. They don't do corn, for that matter. And yeah, I know, I'm American, but I grew up on the East Coast. In Wilmington, Delaware. It's not exactly tamale central. And I went to college in Evanston, Illinois. And the first time I'd ever even been in Arizona was two years ago. And I'd never even been to Mexico until 2000.

Just in case you were wondering, you take the husk off.

On the upside, they were really, really good.
