Whenever I move to a new place, I am easily amused by trips to the market. Here in Phnom Penh I sometimes feel like an alien on another planet. Dragonfruit is a subtle tasting fruit with tiny black seeds. Probably you can get this in the US, but here, it is very common. It would be great with Tajin from Mexico...if only I brought some in my suitcase. Also, there are millions of types of everything. Uncle Barns' (instead of Uncle Ben's) is a type of panko bread crumbs. Deva picked out Yam Flavored Ice Cream and I thought, um, eww. However, it's great! I think it is taro root flavor. The color is really yummy, too. Sometimes this type of food-tasting/risk taking backfires such as in the moon cakes that Deva described as sawdust with fish paste filling.
