Tamales and Tres Leches cake really piss me off.
First of all, I hate both. I hate the taste, the texture, the flavor, the smell...I hate tamales and I hate tres leche cake, but what I hate more than the actual substances is the fact that what seems to be the majority of the population is completely in LOVE with tamales and tres leche cake.
Granted, I'm not that into food, so theres that..yet still, the way people react to tamales, especially at Christmas, is objectively mind boggling.
And what is this Christmas tamale connection anyway?
My in laws make Nacatamales, which are Nicaraguan tamales- these are a thousand times worse than the average tamale.
Everyone here at 2107 goes ape shit over this stuff.
Really?
Its a bunch of mysterious ingredients (which don't go together) wrapped in dry corn meal.
Is something wrong with my tongue? Am I not tasting this correctly?
On more than one occasion I found myself at the dinning room table with everyone eating away- they just can't get enough- they eat three or four, and I'm not even able to shove 1/3 down my pie hole.
At first I thought maybe they were just being nice to Gioconda's mother, but its sincere...and then they all talk about it...
Nacatamales. Nacatamales. Nactamales....by the end of Christmas day I want to punch out the nacatamales.
How is it possible I hate something so much that everyone else loves?
Tres leches cake is like eating a sponge-its not good-end of discussion.
Its the same phenomenon- when its around everyone has to talk about the fucking tres leches cake...
A dry soggy cake- its like snot in my mouth.
Maybe I'm just too white...

Clearly, you just aren't sophisticated enough. But, how do we explain your little daughters love for nacatamales and tres leches? Hmmmm-----they are sophisticated and obviously not too white---- dispite their complexion, bright blue eyes and their mommy.
Thank you Jody. I TOTALLY agree with you about Tres Leches “Sponge” Cake. I had to find one other person on this planet who felt like me about that stupid mushy cake...just thinking of it make me want to gag. I needed to prove to my husband and my goddaughter that I wasn’t alone. Thank you for your commentary.
