> When he reached our table I ordered a dozen for me and a dozen for each of my two friends. "That will be eighteen dollars" he said. As I was paying I told him that it was a lot of money for three dozen tamales I mean, 50c/tamal isn't bad. Growing up in SoCal, homemade tamales bought on the street were 30c-$1/ea (sometimes less, in bulk). And that was without a tamale extruder. Honestly, I don't even see the point of this machine. People that could afford this won't enjoy the profit margins of making tamales and people who make tamales can already do it plenty fast for much cheaper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7EYf5h8HFc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7EYf5h8HFc
