Where do you go for specific or specialized ingredredienrs? Usually the ethnic aisle in your local supermarket.For decades everything foreign was there.
Priya Krishna wrote abou this in yesterday's New York Times Food section.All kinds of Asian food have been lumped there.Some markets likr Kroger's and New Yorl 's Food Bazaar have deemed these aisles obsolete. Foreign foods should be blended in the melting pot of American food shopping.They should rethink different ethnic ingredients as the owner of Red Boat Cuong Pham want for his fish sauce.
Soon the ethnic aisle will be a thing of the past.We need to have all nationalities mix in at the supermarket It makes for a more rounded shopping experience.
