Why do folks pay more to have tamales made than they cost to just buy at the store? And whats worse is you are providing the expensive part, the meat. Makes no sense to me. From what I've seen some pay I can get them served up with rice and beans cheaper than they pay to have some made.

Granny's prices are not bad and they are 1000x better than store bought.

Last I checked Grannies had a 20# minimum, but they didn't seem to care if the meat was deboned or not when calculating weight. I took a hind quarter the first year and liked it so much I took them a whole deer the next. I didn't think it through very well, because I was somewhat shocked when they called to tell me my 150 dozen tamales were ready for pick up. I fed friends and family for the next year.

When we were on patrol we used to eat at this Jalisco restaurant and my partner became friends with the owner and staff we would shoot a number of hogs and gave them to the cooks and they gave us all the tamales we could have. But we were overrun with hogs and those ladies made a bunch of tamales to sell so all they had to buy was the masa lard and spices and husks
