Just tried a couple of new-to-me products I found today at an import
store called World Market (a chain, I believe).

MERCADO DEL MUNDO STONEGROUND CHIPOTLE TORTILLA CHIPS.  ggyyaaACk!!
Whatta waste of money.  Thought I caught the tinest  whiff of chile on
one or two chips, but in the main, these chips were the most tasteless
and unappetizing I have ever had.  Stale, too (well, that's giving them
the benefit of the doubt--perhaps that was their fresh taste).  I
usually finish tortilla chips even if I don't love 'em, but even a great
salsa won't save these.  Had to pitch them.

MEZZETTA OLIVES IN HABANERO HOT SAUCE -- they rock!  Nice flavor and
heat (not make-you-sweat hab, but quite decent, I thought).

Also found CABOOM! PICANTE SAUCE chipotle, but haven't yet sampled it.
Got to get some good chips for the maiden voyage.
