We recently went shopping to Fared, a local supermarket for food. One of the surprises was that the leading tomato paste product was Arany Fácán –Golden Pheasant – from Hungary. There were even Lebanese knockoffs with the same logo, but English script which were made in Lebanon. There were also a few products with strange names. You can see some here, but go ahead and visit the Photo Gallery in the links on the right.

Yes, not only tomato paste, but light bulbs as well. Until now, I have only seen Tungsram bulbs everywhere, and all are made in Hungary :)
