Don't think I'll ever get used to the unique selection of foods available in Astoria! Here is a selection of what I found today at the grocery store (just a small fraction of the unique produce from around the world).
Starting in Latin America: Yuca anyone? Not pictured but surrounding this heaping pile of yuca was many kinds of chilis, plaintains, and several banana varieties!
Moving on to India (from left to right): Tomatillos, Indian Cactus Fruit, Green Mangos for cooking, and Indian Squash - does your grocery store stock any of these items???
And finally, moving on to China I came across Chinese okra. Who knew okra came in such a large size?!
Yum yum! Can't wait to cook dishes with these great veggies!
