Hi Xena.
One JW I knew went down to South Texas for his brother's wedding. There were about 100 people chowing down on authentic Mexican tamales. Being famished he lit in with gusto. After his hunger was satisfied, he looked from his plate and noticed that everyone else had corn shucks on their plates.
He realized that the shucks werent meant to be consumed. Too late.
The next morning he said he knew what it felt like to go through childbirth!
