Thanks to my mom’s side of the family I’m used to eating tamales which don’t look so great either if you’re not used to them, but don’t look this brown because they are made with corn masa. Now, pasteles I’ve tried in Puerto Rican restaurants, and they do look like turds, but they taste super good. There is a similar one that’s made out of fried Yuca masa, I like those too, but I forget the name, they’re stuffed with slightly spicy minced meat.
Rimurooooo
Even better when you fry them lol. Basically alcapurrias at that point

I googled to see what they generally look like, and it ain’t this lol. They normally look like a wet pastry, not a fresh turd xD

Got the shit part correct anyway. lol
When I was a kid I refused to eat pasteles because they looked like this.
I had no idea what I was missing. Wasted childhood.
The unappealing color and texture turned me off but then I zoomed in to see the orange oleaginous ooze it came in, and now I’m all aboard.

Go wash up, kids, we’re having brown for dinner
I have no idea what is this,can you show me how to eat it please.
I prefer the yuca ones but they both hit, I like mines with lots of hot sauce
What are they?
Man I’ve never seen something resemble shit as closely as this does
What is it made of? I’ll try anything once lol is it sweet or savory?
Brown tamales. Word.

Randy?
