With little time to nose around, I didn't notice what was on offer here from Fujian, the Chinese province of which Fuzhou is the capital. Seafood, especially. Unprepared to buy a half-dozen preserved duck eggs (even at what seemed a very cheap $1.50 total), I grabbed a bag of haw (90 g.; 95 cents), slices prepared from the mashed and sugared fruit of the Chinese hawthorn tree and reminiscent of monochrome pepperoni. They crumble easily; the sweet-tart flavor suggests apple, orange, perhaps peach.
