   I'm in a Mexico City trip chat group and my local friend is adding lots of stuff to our shared map list.

   I just added "I really wanna try many types of tamales" and she said

   "You can't eat all the things!"

   This is hate speech

     that's because she already has 10 places per food type for me

     not just like '10 places for tacos' but like

     - 10 places for carnitas
     - 10 places for barbacoa
     - 10 places for suadero
     - 10 places for al pastor

     @skinnylatte plot them on a map and just visit the closest ones. Chasing a food experience in DF will have you driving 25 hours a day.

     @skinnylatte Oh, btw, your friend doesn't appreciate how scarce good tamales are in the US. More difficult than the items on your list.

     @skinnylatte btw, in El Salvador they have something called a tamal which a global culinary treasure. It has little resemblance to the mexican tamal, not better just different.
     (if you are from #puertorico , you will know about pasteles. Well, the Salvadorean Tamal is what a pastel becomes when it dies and goes to heaven.)

     @skinnylatte When you go to Mexico you gotta eat all the things! It’s the law. Or it should be.

     Unrelated: The weather is always good in Mexico City (cold tropics) but sadly the air is bad (it’s in kind of a kettle). (I had a software project there.)
