Spice Gardens

I have never been to India.
But I do know a lot of folks who not only have been to India but call it home. When I worked in my previous career, the Indian App Tech guys would regale me with stories from Chennai or Mumbai.
These are places that as I grew up, I called completely different names.
These guys would talk to me about the sights and sounds of their homeland but the most resonant thing they missed from this distant place was the food.
Their go to place in Glasgow for groceries was Albert Drive and especially Spice Gardens.
If you have not shopped at a real Indian grocers. This can be a real amazing experience. Take it in and enjoy the newness of it.
Also check out the prices — no little bottles half filled with old powdered spices Here it is piled up in bags, fresher since it moves fast out of here and exceptionally cheap.
The fruit and veg section is also bloody brilliant.

If you live in the area I’d advise you to do all your fruit & veg shopping here — all fresh and considerably cheaper than visiting the nearest supermarket. There’s a large selection in and outside the store. The outside food is priced cheaper as it is the most ripe. They also have a large curry mix selection. Just be careful which one you buy or you’ll burn your mouth off like I did with my boyfriend!
