One day a yankee from Mi was in the VFW in Tx when the tamale girls came in.
Eager to fit in, he ordered some.
He bitched like hell that he found a human tooth in one.
I said that’s a pigs tooth dude, you are really ignorant about tamales..
When I worked in Mexico in the 90s, I occasionally had authentic local posole. There are pig parts in there that even veterinarians don’t know the names of.
