Pasta Para Duritos

     While shopping for camping equipment at the big W (a store I tend to avoid at all costs) I found some interesting items.  One of them was a bag of pinwheel shaped  pasta looking things for under $2.  This is what the tag says:
    "Originating in Mexico, Pasta para Duritos puff up into a tasty snack like popcorn or chips when fried in oil or microwaved.  Add salt, chile sauce and lemon or lime juice to create an authentic Latin snack."
   Frying makes them oily...microwaving makes them puffy and healthy.  They were interesting to eat but way more interesting to watch puff up.  I guess it doesn't take much to entertain me though...also I think they would be great for shipping items.  Need something new to do with the kids?  Give 'em a try!
