Unknown Foods: Immigration

Yogurt Drink Dept: For instance, I walk into Alborz Fine Foods, a small but bright new Persian food store that recently opened in Park Royal Mall South. I indulge, one or two bites at a time, in unknown foods whenever I'm in an ethnic store. This time, I walk around and wait for something to grab me, according to Vancouver Sun. At home, I wonder if the beverage called doujh will be bitter, and I'm prepared for it. But no, it's a carbonated yogurt drink with a bit of saltiness and a bit of mint and really refreshing. My sister, who's visiting from Ontario, loves the crispy dried okra. The cashews are salty, but with a citrusy edge You'd need to lock yourself up and swallow the key to remain parochial in multi-flavoured Vancouver. I notice bottles of a milky beverage in the cooler. It looks healthy, so I buy one. I also note some large and crispy okra, deep-fried, displayed in a brown bag. I ask for a sample, and it's as delicate as a potato chip and has a mildly spicy taste. I buy some of that. And from the display of nuts, I buy a bag of cashews. As reported in the news.
@t spicy taste, persian food
