That said, I still might’ve bought one if I hadn’t been in a hurry. They looked/smelled delicious, despite the third world setup. The best tamales I’ve ever eaten were sold out of a five gallon bucket fetched from the trunk of a seventies model Cadillac. Sometimes you have to have a sense of adventure or you’ll miss out on some of life’s best experiences.
OK this gave me a laugh this morning! Talking about all the issues with it, but you still would have absolutely grabbed one. Reminds me of going to a bar that wasn't in my usual neighborhood to see a friend play piano with a band. Out back they had a barrel grill and were cooking chicken legs. Serving right off the grill, I don't even remember paying for them. Best grilled chicken I've had, to this day.

I'm with you on taking a chance. I feel like I take a chance every time I eat a hot dog anyway.
