Janata Grocery

This friendly grocery and convenience store has the feel of a neighborhood Bangladeshi hangout. Asiatic Sea Products brand chira laddu (16 pieces; $1.99) are balls of rice flakes (chira) held together by just a little molasses, plus "edible oil" and spices. "Good for human consumption," the package insists.

The clerk told me that the package should be heated in a microwave for 20 to 30 seconds; despite the insistence of my co-workers Vishal and Jay that they prefer their chira laddu cold, heating them was the only way to soften them up sufficiently. Even then, not really a dessert, as Jay noted. (Suddenly I have a taste for Rice Krispies squares.)
