Turtles

Before going back to school in Columbia, I stopped in St. Louis for a few days to visit Zach. I told him about the photos I took in India and London of the different markets and butcher shops. He remembered an Oriental grocery store in St. Louis that would add something to my collection. The store layout was similar to those of other grocery stores, it was the small details that made the difference. Walking through the meat department, I noticed signs for all parts of different animals, nothing was wasted. Pig liver, chicken feet and packages that had an assortment of parts of the animals filled the aisle. I think it's so interesting what different cultures and religions eat. I am obsessed with the travel channel because I love the shows that look at the different foods from around the world. I am excited to expand on this project about butcher shops and grocery stores around the world.
