My first trip to shop for grocery was a particularly fruitless exercise. Well, OK, I got some exercise since I had to walk there (you may now pick your jaw off the floor. Some people in suburban U.S. actually do walk), but there were no fruits to be had.
Impossible, you say? This is the land of plenty! That it is. The land of about 345 types of milk and 486 kinds of honey. So when I was faced with a dizzying array of about 250 varieties of fruit, I panicked and was numbed into inaction.

Usually I’m generous, I’ll give you a rundown of the place, in this case, I just say run.
The clueless person at the register where I ordered and was very clear about PFC’s food needing to be non-spicy assured me that it would be so and lo and behold it was the spiciest dish on the table which meant that the only thing he could eat was dal-chawaal served off a flimsy plastic plate and he wasn’t happy.
