Jungle Jim's

Several months ago a colleague at work had mentioned about a store called "Jungle Jim's" in fairfield ohio...a 10 mile drive or so.The concept is quite unique-Jungle Jim sells food produts from different countries -Germany,UK,Austria,Japan,China,India to name a few.

Last Sunday,I decided to check out the place.It was very interesting with a HUGE setup and different sections dedicated to food products from around the world. It was a great experience walking down different aisles.A few that I checked out were - Germany,UK,Austrailia,South Africa,Carribean and of course India.

The Indian section was really a bigger variation of the quintissential 'desi' stores scattered all over the US.The thing that catches everybody's eye in the Indian section is an Auto Rickshaw displayed on an elevated podium.It was complete with a picture of Rani Mukherjee inside and a note stuck on the wheel saying "imagine being an auto rickshaw driver in india"!.There was also a neat explanation about the gear mechanics and how the auto worked. I found it pretty amusing.

If there can be a store with the novel concept of Jungle Jim's it has to be in the US.This great nation is really a melting pot of cultures and cuisines from so many different countries.
