tip of the day: questionable food - don't eat it.

I was at Wal-Mart the other day and was waiting for Katie towards the front of the store. Specifically, I was standing near the prepared food section, where I found something odd.
A guy walked up to the counter, pointed to a food item, and confusingly asked, "Is that a tamale?"
Upon the response of "yes," the guy said, "Oh, well then I'll have two of those."
My personal thought was this: If you have to ask what it is, maybe you shouldn't have two - better yet, you should probably just pass.
