Ramps Anybody? What are these things?


They're from the South here in the Good old USA. A very strongly flavored member of the onion family. The first fresh green vegetable to appear after the winter in Appalachia, it is gathered and ceremonially eaten. This can leave such a powerful flavor on the breath that kids do it in order to be sent home from school.

Stinky Fruit - Durian

Many people claim durian is quite good. The smell however, is one of the worst things on Earth. It is said that you can smell the durian fruit stands from all the way down the street. Some hotels and airports refuse to let people bring the fruit inside for fear that it will chase away their customers. 


"You say Potato, I'll say Chitato?"

Now really folks......is this anyway to name a snack foods brand?
Actually, this is a major snack food brand in Indonesia and they have some really interesting and unique flavors.
Tired of BBQ potato chips? try a little Rasa Sapi Bumbu Bakar
