International Snacks?

Question

Gutreaction's riveting thread on cape cod potato chips :^) reminded me that I wanted to start a topic on international snacks. I find myself completely addicted to Haitai's Sindangdong Tteokbokki Chips. They are spicy, and sweet and crunchy in all the wrong ways. I can't walk by an Hmart without stopping by for a bag or three. For reference, here they are on amazon:

TWIGLETS! I was just about to post about them. Not quite as exotic as some of the others perhaps, but oh so good!

I loooooove Walker's prawn cocktail chips from the UK.

Answer

Picked up a sack of Tomato-Paprika flavored TOTTIES (Potato Chips) at the Greek market "Titan" in Astoria/Queens. Decent crunch, discernible paprika tones and, perhaps it was the palm oil or partial Pringles texture resemblance, but certainly an acquired taste. Passed on the Oregano variety. Any other opinions?
