Grocery Shopping

(Through the month of April I will be participating in the A to Z Blogger Challenge. Each day my post will be inspired by successive letters of the alphabet.  My A to Z Blog Challenge topics are inspired by our recent 90-day trip on our motorhome. Click here to see links to other responses to this challenge.)

G is for Groceries

Grocery shopping is an adventure when we are traveling. It fascinates me to see how grocery stores vary from region to region. Even in the big name stores I find things that aren't stocked on the shelves at home. In some areas they have local markets and in others, they have chains we don't have in the Rocky Mountain region.

 While we were in New Mexico we stopped at the Ranch Market. It is hardly a 'market' - it is huge!

Let's take a walk through the aisles...

Chilacayote Squash

Octopus

Dried Peppers

Beef Feet

Pork Stomachs

Nopalitos (cut prickly pear cactus) & Agave

Guava Candy

Bulk bins of ricotta cheese, sour cream, salted cream

and jocoque - strained yogurt

Dry corn "teeth"

Beans

Fried corn tortillas, as big as elephant ears!

Pig snouts and feet

 Stacks of tortillas

Beef bull fryers...

Do they mean 'former' bull??

Rocky Mountain Oysters!!

I was thinking that maybe my next post should be
