One of the advantages of having a large Latino population in this town
(near Dallas) is the variety of foodstuffs available in local grocery
stores.  We have all sorts of exotic products from Mexico and Central
America, which a decade ago were not availablle.  This afternoon I picked
up two of the strangest snack foods, which I am recommending that you try.
They are packaged in single servings like Food Mart peanuts, for instance,
by "El Club Energia" company.

HAVAS, Chile y Límon - These are roasted lima beans in a spice base of
lemon juice, salt, black pepper, chile pepper and other spices.

SALADITAS, or Salted Plums - These are small plums that have been dried out
in a salt medium.  They are extremely chewy and salty - the perfect "salt
fix" if you ever need one.

Look for them hanging by the check-out counters at supermarkets that offer
a lot of Mexican foods in general.
