Believe it or not, I started there. And, even harder to believe, I
haven't had much luck. One of the problems with Google, for example, is
that they've sold out. Between their paid-for search results and various
bots being employed on the web, almost all searches are rigged. These
bots take your search term and incorporate it into search results they
want to send you to and so few of them are legitimate results nor to
they offer what you're looking for. So many of the links I checked for
the search term "prawn chips", which is what they're called in the
industry, sent me to sights that didn't even sell any food items or they
didn't carry anything even close. I mean if you type in "ugga bugga" as
a search term, I garantee you're going to get at least one result that
says "Find out more about 'UGGA BUGGA' at Amazon.com". It's hideous. I
went through the first 4 pages of search results and didn't find
anything. I guess I'm going to have to wait until I can get down to
Boston again and visit Chinatown.
