Noshing ‘round the World

Exotic-flavored snacks line up to be 2007’s most-invited guests. It has gone way beyond lime and chili Fritos.

Boulder’s Thai chips, Kettle’s roasted red pepper with goat cheese chips, Baji’s Indian papadums, Funyun’s wasabi “onion-flavored rings,” even Terras’s aioli “frites”—the world has gotten small enough to fit into your mouth.

Even the chips themselves have changed: Cassava, plantain, yucca, sweet potato and boniata chips have hopped over to the main snack aisle from the ethnic shelves.
