However, the video not only caused laughter, it also unleashed a wave of comments about the “correct way” to eat baleadas: without utensils, just with your hands.
In the face of criticism, the creator of the video added a message of understanding for his Spanish friend: “Just don’t be cruel to him, understand him,” calling on people not to take the way his friend was enjoying the food so seriously.
TikTok users were divided between those who defended the right to enjoy food differently and those who considered the use of utensils to eat a baleada to be sacrilege.
“The Chamelecon River came out of the chat”, “Gosh, it made even the Copán Ruins and all traces of the Mayans in Honduras disappear “, “What a sin”, are some of the comments.
