I don’t really have a question but I want to talk about noodles, please. Is a tamale a noodle or a sandwich?

    As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It’s not stupid (that doesn’t exist in this community), it’s just disturbing xD

    No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don’t have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It’s like asking if ravioli is a noodle.

      As someone from the U.S. who grew up eating Mexican food in Texas, I agree. It is disturbing. The filling is very important to a tamal. They aren’t bendy or thin either. Noodles are thin and bendy
