Yeah, I'm not that big on chocolate, but when it's good stuff, I'll take it. :mrgreen:

I frequently visit the japanese markets, and their snacks are always so presentable, and somewhat $$$. Ocasionally they will have food booths set out and sell certain pastries, and other types of foods, during special food celebrations, Hokkaido fair, etc... and the food is so delicious.

Their food has got to be one of the best around. :thumbsup:

Had Peruvian food with my brother, sister-in-law and niece... Specifically, I had Saltado de Pollo: sauteed chicken, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes served on rice... Very good. :thumbsup:
