Ok, I’ve seen that on Top Chef and Food Shows. I always thought they were saying tamale vs. tomalley. No wonder I found that term a bit confusing! I’m sure it’s wonderful but I get easily squicked out on guts, offal and any meat I’m unfamiliar with. I know it sounds weird but if I think about what I’m eating, I get grossed out. I can eat crab, shrimp etc... but I would pass on the tomalley.
I don’t have the guts to try it! I can’t bring myself to even try lamb.
