I love walking around
ethnic markets, and there are a lot of them in the Silicon Valley. Various
Latino countries, India, Korea, Japan, China—they’re all represented in large
numbers around here.
(Europe and Africa
would appear to not exist if you went by the types of grocery stores. Because I’m
not counting Safeway for anything.)
For one thing—there are
all sorts of foods I’ve never seen. And then there are various products that
not only have I never seen before, I very often am completely clueless about
what they might do.
I was in a Japanese
store the other day, and did my usual, “Well, GAWWW-LEE!” wandering around.
I saw signs for “Kitchen
Wear”, which intrigued me.
There was so much “Kitchen Wear” that it was found
in two aisles.
I was expecting
things like aprons, and maybe checked trousers and clogs, but no. It was pans
and storage containers and cooking utensils and the like.
(I was disappointed in the "drink", too.)
America, gonif!
