Brighter green than a Boro Taxi, this bag of Cadbury-branded, Nigeria-made butter mint candies was on display near the checkout — always a good place, at far-flung markets, to seek out and succumb to intriguing impulse purchases. Not far away was a transparent bin of stockfish, each a stiff, gape-mouthed carcass bespeaking their concentrated flavor. I sense a package deal: How many butter mints counterbalance one fish?
