Pickled serranos have changed my life. I eat them whole usually because I grew up being taught to waste not, but sometimes the stem is lookin a little weird and I leave those off and still feel guilty for wasting. Wwyd? Carne asada tacos with onion, yellow bells, napa cabbage, cilantro, and aji verde.

You probably eat the apple core, too
Definitely leaving out the stem

No stem for me, it’s a texture thing.
Just compost it so it’s not technically waste
You do you, but I definitely wouldn’t eat apple seeds.
Are those raw corn tortillas?
Before my girlfriend moved to the US, she took various cooking classes in Mexico. They were taught to cut the crown (stem/cap) off out of respect because they are the kings of seasoning in Latin American cuisine. I thought that was cool and respectfully cut their crowns off and say thanks. Lol
Leave the stem, like a gentleman, like a doctah.
Too busy eating stems to heat up the tortillas
Yeah, I don’t peel bananas before I eat them either
I would take the stems off
No stem. I’m sure the flavor is fine but would take forever to chew.
“Hey, Jimmy… if you’re not going to eat your peach pit, can I have it?”
Tighten those tortillas tho
no?
You eating cold tortillas my guy? Also no I don’t eat the stems. They don’t provide anything beneficial nor is it a waste of food. But I do eat the stems and cores of vegetables and fruits as long as they’re not woody material as I do find that to be a waste of food.
Stem should always be cut off. And the pepper itself chopped.
What is wrong with you?
Do you also eat fish tails?
My man. You can’t be serious.
do you eat the rind on watermelon? asking for me

I’d rather eat at the whitest taco Tuesday household than attempt a bite of one of these ngl.
is that a mf carrot??
Why are there carrots in the tacos 🙂
It’s good to not waste food but eating stems seems excessive
