Before going to a football game-watching party Saturday (games shown via Slingbox--no American college football here!), I thought I would buy some tortilla chips to take along. I had seen a bag of
Tostitos Hint of Lime chips with the word IMPORT on it in the teacher's lounge, so I figured they would just
have to be available somewhere nearby. After checking out local grocery stores Edeka and Lidl (they do have chips, but not from Mexico or the U.S. Southwest), I went to
Kleinmarkthalle, an international market that I was told had a little of everything.

the Latin American section

The place was truly international: you could get fruits, vegetables, candy, and canned goods from all over the world...well, all over the world, except maybe from the U.S. There was no good ol' processed American food. No Tex-Mex. I did find some tortillas in the Latin American food section, and even some thick homemade tortilla chips and taco shells, but that's about it.
So, if you are coming to visit, please bring some Tostitos Hint of Lime. And some salsa. :-)
