Department of New Jerkies

You didn’t think there was such a thing as fish jerky? There is, and they eat it in Japan. Now a company named HBCI is marketing both salmon and tuna jerky in this country. The former, made from lightly smoked salmon fillet (3% fat), is very good by anybody’s standards. The tuna jerky tastes a little too much like, well, dried tuna; fortunately, it also comes in much tastier teriyaki and hot teriyaki versions (all the tuna jerkies are fat free).

Available at Ralphs Superstores.

It’s a Treat to Eat Your Feet

Sweet Feet to Eat are footprint-shaped candies: small, medium (on a lollipop stick) and large chocolate feet and foot-shaped regular lollipops. The idea is to reward “great feats” like graduation, announce it’s-a-boy/it’s-a-girl--the imminent pitter-patter of little feet, that is--and so on. (You guessed it, the guy behind all this is a moonlighting podiatrist.)
