Crab Rangoon - Chinese American Hybrid
An American invention, it's fried wontons with a cream cheese and minced crab meat filling.  I'd been looking forward to these, ever since reading about them on scaredycatstalker.  But they weren't anything special, and I was disappointed that the center was completely pureed - not a strand of crab meat to be seen.

Would I try again?  Nope.

Where I found it:  In the Palisades Mall (at Stir Crazy)

Mango (dried) with Chili  - Unknown Ethnicity
Slices of mango dusted with a light coating of chili powder.  Tasty, sweet - and even good for you.  Yum!  (Sold by a company called Ego.)

Would I try again?  Yep.  Good stuff.

Melon Seeds - Various
I think they're watermelon seeds. You can find them in a lot of Asian markets, either in a barrell (measurable by scoop) or in prepackaged snack pack bags.  The snack bags come in various flavors, like licorice.  Warning up front!  Don't eat the shell - split it with your teeth and eat the kernel only.  I tried the licorice, which isn't too bad.  But it's way too much work for what you get out of it.

Would I try again?  No - too much effort - although I'm sure they're incredibly healthy!
