And I remember when they didn't even have salt and vinegar.
I always enjoy the junk-food sections of "ethnic" stores. My latest surprise was chile tamarind in a Mexican market that was just whole tamarind pods coated in (quite spicy) red chile powder. I had no idea what a tamarind looked like, having only experienced them in juice and fruit leather forms, and was lucky I didn't break a tooth on the seeds.
