Never met an Ethnic Market
I didn'tfind sumpin NEW in- to me- it's a great way to explore-save money
and eat "right"!
Today- I was @
Kurowski's Sausage Shop-
not a good place for vegetarians to shop-
not that it's all animal based-
but they do get serious about their smoked meats!
Man- they must sell about 25 types of Kielbasa- and one day- I will get an English speaker-who also knows Polish-
to tell me the subtle variations.
Today- I purchased some Kielbasa from the "broken" section- for $1.99 lb. Random goodies in there.
Got some pepper encrusted smoked ham- with a garlic in the center- for $3 sumpin' a pound.
Got some THICK sliced bacon- about $4.00 a lb.
Got some carrot slaw w/raisins- yummmm....Gouda Cheese for $3.99 lb.
The deals go one.
Dont go there after Church lets out- Its a Cluster-F#*k- between the Eastern European sharp elbows in the line
at the deli counter- to the pointing and gesturing needed iffn ya dont Zimmwe Popolski- it can be unnerving
at times.

Also-
Cermack Produce on N. Kedzie near Arun's Thai Restaurant
and
Carneceria Jimenez on Fullerton @ Avers continue to amaze me with fresh produce
amazingly low prices- great cuts of meat +tasty pre-cooked foods such as BBQ Ribs, Puerto Rican Rice
and a more "Mexican" Rice- and various "Carnitas"- sometimes Barbacoa @ Jimenez-as well as "Birria" on
the weekends. Also- both sell cut up Papaya- cut up Pineapple,Watermelon and Cantaloupe
in case you wanna get some fresh-fruits in your diet!

Jung Boo- has the best "salad bar" ever!
Kim Chee- BanChan (or do you say Pan-Chan)?-
and other little snacks like dried anchovies and
tasty little
potato bombs- that look like peeled chestnuts
in a slightly-sweet yet savory marinade-
yumm!Really like the pickled cucumber there- and the pickled carrots with the fish cake strips that
look like seitan.
So good.
