cafeteria stuff--stop and shop!

Hi Tony,

I do remember Stop and Shop. I loved just walking up and down the aisles to see all the exotica they had. If I am not mistaken, I believe it was the first place I knew where you could obtain chocolate covered insects. What fun!

Whenever I am out of town, whether it be in the USA or abroad, I always visit grocery stores, markets and specialized food shops. They are just as much a clue to the local culture as any museum. Just the other day in Oxford, Mississippi, I was amused to find a display in the market with vanilla wafers and bananas positioned together suggesting it's Banana Pudding time. I'll attach a photo later today. Just as we see shortcake cups and strawberries displayed together.
