Monday, November 5, 2007
We're asking readers like you to pick up a souvenir from a foreign supermarket and mail it to us along with your full name, where you found it, and any other noteworthy details: Budget Travel, 530 Seventh Ave., 2nd Fl., New York, NY 10018.
If you're curious about what makes a good Supermarket Souvenir, check out this one that Joan Burns of Silver Spring, Md., picked up on a recent trip to Romania:
  Let's dip Dracula (Lauren Keenan) |
"I always look for gifts in supermarkets, and the market in Brasov, Transylvania, didn't let me down. I couldn't resist bringing home packets of Let's dip Dracula, named for Romania's infamous son. I don't read Romanian, so your guess is as good as mine as to the ingredients—but with the Dracula reference, I'm guessing it leans toward a "spicy" mix to share with guests. Even then, as Romanian cooks avoid spices at all costs, I doubt we'd call it hot!"
