The other day when Greg and I had lunch downtown, we went and toured both an Asian, and Italian market. I love checking out all the good, and often times weird, stuff in these places! Attached are a couple of photos from the Asia Food Company. The "Pork Fu" is dried BBQ"d Pork Butt (just add water!) The Durian fruit has a rather tasty description, but I saw a guy almost puke when eating this on a show once because this thing is supposed to taste and smell awful! It is actually banned from public consumption is Thailand! The prices on the jasmine rice are a fraction of the $4-5/ lb you would pay in the "ethnic needs" aisle of the local grocery! Same with the Arborio rice in the Italian market "Gallucci's" I pity anyone who doesn't have access to these kind of places. I also love the local Mexican "Mercado." Freshly rendered "Manteca" is an essential in good tamales!
