Except, except...... Although you may be able to get spices there that aren't available in your average supermarket, they are not cheap. F'rinstance I bought turmeric there but later found it 40% cheaper in the Co-op up the street.

 

Asian supermarkets or stalls in local markets are by far the best places to buy this sort of thing, e.g. my son in Loughborough sent me some spices at about a third of the price I could find elsewhere.

I totally agree as I buy all herbs

& spices from Asian shops in Smethwick high street.I also buy interesting tinned veg which help make some very tasty curries-especially useful on the boat.

But isn't that truly one of the joys of living afloat?

 

As you prepare a meal - this bit came from there, that from here - remember where we picked this up?

 

Then trying to recall on your travels where best to re-stock on certain ingredients ...............

 

Love it - and reminders of the best blackberry/raspberry/sloe picking places along the way.

 

Happy hunting
