What does it mean for psychology if a Colombian doesn't like tamales, according to AI?

Tamale is one of the typical foods found on the tables of Colombian homes. In this sense, the fact that a person dislikes this type of food may be related to some psychological pattern . What was ChatGPT's revelation on this topic, or even its possible interpretations?

According to the AI-based tool, this issue does not have a pathological impact, but it can provide clues about an individual's personality, considering aspects related to their upbringing, cultural experiences, and other readings: 1. Past experiences with this type of food. A person's attraction to a food is built from the earliest years of life. "If someone had a bad experience with tamales (taste, texture, indigestion, negative family environment), they may develop a rejection," they pointed out. It can also be due to a sensory sensitivity, which can influence an aversion to the ingredients that make up this product.

2- Distancing from the traditional

It's a cultural food throughout the country. It's generally eaten at Christmas celebrations or for breakfast. " Not liking it could suggest a certain distance from tradition, or a cultural identity less marked by local values . In young people, it can also be a form of cultural differentiation or rebellion," the AI ​​added. 3- Cognitive style : There are probably some people who are selective about their diet, and that's why they tend to dismiss the way they relate to the ingredients that can be included in a meal.

4- Conditioning by the social environment

Finally, it could also be that the individual wasn't born in a region where tamales are common. "It's more likely that they don't like them, and that doesn't have a major psychological burden," he noted.

“That a Colombian doesn't like tamales isn't 'abnormal,' but it can open the door to exploring aspects such as their relationship with the culture, their upbringing, or their sensory sensitivity. Sometimes, the rejection of a traditional food reflects more than just the taste. But other times... it's just that they don't like it, period,” ChatGPT said in summary.

What is the origin of the tamale?

This is a product widely consumed by Colombian families and is made from corn, rice, bijao leaves, and corn cob, according to Señal Colombia on its website.

Regarding its origin, this is a somewhat complex matter to define. According to the aforementioned media, this food began to be present in pre-Hispanic cultures. " It was made from the tables of African slaves and some indigenous people who collected Christmas leftovers from the Spanish table, mixing it with corn dough," they added.

The truth is that both historians and anthropologists maintain that it appeared several years ago in Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Venezuela.
