Vivian Howard Instagram – A trip to the local supermarket is my favorite way to step into the shoes of a place, no matter where I am. I’ve loved hearing from so many of you who seem to relate.
“Where else, other than a Pig in Eastern North Carolina, would you find an entire aisle of dried corn products, a wall cooler designated for seasoning meat, and produce bins dominated by cabbage collards, muscadine grapes, and green peanuts? And sometimes, grocery stores can bring a culture to you. As a woman who lives in the middle of nowhere, to experience and peruse exotic ingredients on a regular basis, I simply head to H Mart and Bharath Bazar in Cary, with a side of Wegmans and Trader Joe’s in Raleigh. No passport required.”
As always, thanks for the great edit @amandabheckert @gardenandgun and the lovely illustrations @jkroik 😍
