This is a result of going to my Korean grocer -- tons of spicy pickled veggies (kimchi). The colors aren't *really* that garish, for some reason my camera isn't doing color correction correctly :-(. Anyhow, this sure beats a typical salad as far as taste goes, at least if you like spicy foods!
And if I want to eat genuine Indian food, I can go to the Indian grocer. If I want to eat genuine Middle Eastern food, I can go to the halal grocer. Etc. Folks who live only where there's just people exactly like themselves don't know just how boring their food really is...

Oh, stop. I used to be able to get decent takeout. [sigh. still miss Manhattan.]
ReplyDeleteNow there isn't even decent pizza. Or Italian bread.
I used to get stuff like that in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first came to the Bay Area, I couldn't find half the stuff I needed to cook a decent spicy meal. Course, now it's all over the place, innit?
ReplyDeleteWhat's even nicer is being able to dine out every night for a week on fantastic food and never repeat the same cuisine twice, nor run up a huge bill. Yum.
Doo-wah,doo-wah, come on Kitty,
ReplyDeleteYer talkin to the boy from New York City!

I am so glad I've gone beyond "Mother's cooking." First of all, her cooking sucked and was horribly bland. Meatloaf isnt supposed to look like a hockeypuck floating in a pool of orange grease. And I've gone and explored other cultures, and liked them. Now I can't get a lot of cool stuff delivered, and I really have to hunt for groceries, but it's worth it.
