Years ago, during my Buddhist days, I worked in a wholefood shop for a couple of years. We tried to share out responsibilities and mine (as well helping make sandwiches for the take away side) was to order the wholefoods from our main suppliers. I became quite an expert on sourcing new products and what was available and absolutely loved it. I was working with interesting people and loved doing something practical and real-world compared to academia and book learning.I say this because I found myself in the new Richmond Whole Foods Market today and for ½ hour or so was in foodie heaven. Even more so when I remembered that I still had Susen’s credit card in my bag……(Susen – only kidding! I restrained myself, although he did mutter something about £3.99 being rather a lot for a small bottle of juice I had bought). For a while in the shop I had one of those ‘what if’ thoughts. What if I had followed through my wholefood shop experience and knowledge I had built up and pursued my vision of expansion and my own business? I hope that something like Whole Foods Market would have been what I would have created. But I took a different turn in the road at that point and ended up somewhere completely different while the US owner of Whole Foods Market is probably doing very well from their stores. Life paths are very strange sometimes.
I couldn’t help taking a few select photos of anything Indian-related to share below with fellow food-lovers. No wonder I never seem to lose any weight.
