* * * * * Extreme spices, Brevard edition Today was a cold, miserable, rainy day here in Brevard [1], so we didn't get out much. But a few days ago, we did stop by the local Food Lion [2], the other grocery chain in Brevard. Whereas Ingles [3] is the more upscale type grocery store, Food Lion is your … um … less expensive grocery store. So my expectations were pretty low. What I was not expecting was to find actual turmeric! [A picture of fresh turmeric] A mutant carrot or a mutant worm … you decide. [4] I've never seen fresh turmeric! Much less expect to find it in a … um … less expensive grocery store!
