Mmmmm, kubideh.

I was introduced to a new (new-to-me) Persian food place today. It's a little deli, not a formal restaurant, and it's quite the happening place among a group of people who do not look much like me. I saw shelves of snacks and food-preparation items that looked absolutely delicious. I found MAAMOUL date bars and cardamom tea. I found sesame brittle made with rose water. I brought a big pile of stuff to the cash register. Oh, man, I was going nuts in there.

I looked really hard for Galaxy flutes, but didn't find them. That would really have made my day!

I like Pirouettes, and I saw some of those in this store, even. They're pretty tasty.

Another thing I didn't find was the CHIPSY (er, SHIBZEE is how it's spelled in Arabic, but they transliterate that CHIPSY) brand of potato chips. They have the niftiest flavors added: cheese, garlic, chicken broth, ... lots of stuff. Around here we get chip flavors I find annoying or boring, like onion or barbecue. I could really get addicted to the cheese chips.
