We love the spicy Indian snacks called namkeen. We eat all varieties. Some kinds are mild and slightly sweet and some set our mouths on fire. J and I dearly love us some masala (which means 'spice' in Hindi). I've even been known to eat the tongue-torcher variety of namkeen for breakfast, which my kids feel is really going too far.
Anyway, today I was feeling a little blue and my husband wanted to distract me with a little hotter-than-a-dragon's-breath type called chana crackers. I ate it lovingly, breathing through my mouth. I noticed the ingredients list and since it was too small to share with you in photo form, I thought I'd type it out word-for-word for your reading pleasure.
INGREDIANTS: Used Vegetable Oil, Lahori Namak & Spices of best quality (if any).
I...used to like chana crackers, but now I don't know how to feel. I mean, call me snooty but I don't prefer secondhand oil.
I know all that I had eaten would have been all over the floor if I saw that!!!! Not a snot at all!
