Local Flavours

These chips came from Russia, but they look more like Germans to me!
Maybe it's an exotic imported flavour.
Beer & Sausage? 

I believe that we can learn a lot about people by paying attention to what they eat. (Is this an excuse for me to snoop in other folks grocery carts?) I made a little hobby of taking pictures of potato chips while we were travelling. Favorite flavours do reflect the food preferences and culture of the locals. Here are some samples:

Beijing: Martial Arts chips in a can (also other ingredients of an afternoon snack for John)
Russia: caviar (NO kidding!)
Russia: Wild Mushroom 
Turkey: hot pepper, strange label
Budapest - Yogurt 
Greece: olives (saw this one in Spain too!)
Greece: ???, Pesto and ??? I wonder why some labels have English and some don't?
Greece - oregano
This is just part one, stay posted for more flavourful adventures.
