I think I have seen something like that at Central Market, sold on the aisle
with the gourmet crackers. Odd that. They have crackers next to the
cheeses and then other more standard crackers elsewhere. Anyway... I think
I remember buying a jar and then getting it home and thinking it was rather
meh. I didn't know what to do with it but it was with the crackers so
assumed to eat it with them. Meh.
