I could spend an entire post talking about the exotic food items that are sold at the local markets here, but for now, I'll keep it simple.
For some reason, I had a huge hankering for chips, so I trekked down to the local "Western" supermarket and discovered these:
I know...it's difficult to read the writing on the bag, but these are Sweet Basil-flavored Lays. They are absolutely fabulous. They actually taste more like a super-spicy barbecue chip more than anything, but the basil notes do start to come through once you've had half the bag. :-)
My other finding was a bit stranger:
See the sushi rolls depicted on the left? No, that's not a joke. These are Nori-flavored Lays. To be honest, I was actually quite hesitant to try these, fearing some odd fishy taste that would sully my experience with potato chips for life. But they were actually surprisingly good. Not as good as the Sweet Basil flavor, but definitely tasty enough for me to finish the bag in a few days. (Okay...admittedly, this was not a very big bag...)
Stay tuned for the next "Interlude" post on local markets!
