Let us now praise weird snacks
Fairway, the gourmet supermarket of the Upper West Side, is now carrying dried gooseberries again. I used to buy them whenever I shopped there (although they are expensive), and then they stopped carrying them. They look like large raisins, but orange. They are very tart, sort of a cross between lemon and orange flavor. I don't know why I find them so addictive, but I do.
Another Fairway item I can't get enough of are chili-lime flavored dried mango chips.

I think Trader Joe's regularly carries chili-lime mango chips and probably gooseberries too (why not, they have every other weird food item?!). Do they have Trader Joe's in New York?

One just opened last year but I haven't been down there yet.

There is a Russian short story of cold satisfaction in riches gained from dead wives called 'Gooseberries' (though 'Kerry' might be the more hip title translation). It really is a place and mood evocative story. Might Chekhov be the author?
