Headline online at The El Paso Times tonight:
Price of tamales skyrockets to $10-$14 dozen
Two causes are mentioned in the article. Care to guess?
Right. Increases in minimum wage and and corn prices, the latter due to ethanol subsidies.
Tamales are a traditional Christmas dish. BTW, tamales is plural. It's one tamal. Glad to see the EP Times get it right! Ah, never mind.
