I bought this red pepper spread online. It's 80% red pepper and 20% eggplant but it tastes 100% like eggplant. It is bland. There are no preservatives so the label tells consumers to finish it within 3-4 days of opening. 

On deck, I bought Dubai chocolate, I am going to an Azeri restaurant next week, and I am going to a Tajik restaurant next month. I also found Cypriot coffee for sale online.
