"I have been in the US for two weeks now in Rochester on the East Coast and thought I would share some of the interesting things I have experienced with Food. I visited Wegmans the Food Super Market that my children buy their food and groceries and have been amazed by the sheer number of products and variety in each that it offers. It takes me a long time to just go through the fruit and vegetable sections , since there is so much variety - 10 different types of tomatoes... several types of spinach ... cut and packaged in different ways to suit various needs. That's just two items. There are hundreds such with as much variety. The section on milk has at least 10 to 15 types of milk with different fat content , enriched etc. I could spend the whole day browsing through their dairy, meats, Bakery , confectionery, provisions and other aisles.

I was surprised to see in my children's Fridge packets frozen food - Masala Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Idlis and Khandvi which they pick up from the Indian store , but was a little 
skeptical of how they would taste. But have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with the Dosas which tasted good and were almost as good as enjoying dosas in an Udupi restaurant in Mumbai!

That's Indian enterprise... doing things to make Indians abroad feel at home giving them the convenience of having the food they love, without having to spend hours preparing it!"
