Vaneet: No problem, better late than never. We eat Indian basmati rice although I’ve never bought this brand.

Where do we get this rice Vaneet? Can I buy it at Indian groceries in New York when I go visit?

Hi, Khusha pari and all other are all copies of the original Pari brand that is owned by Sachdeva & Sons Pvt Ltd. it’s the best brand avaiable right now, no wonder everyone likes to copy their name…. try it and you will not try anything else

Thanks David. It was a narrow aisle so there was a limit to how far back I could get with my 35mm lens on my 1.6 cropped 20D and when I framed it I realized that was okay as I wanted just the bags, nothing else. There were other bags (many brands piled side by side) but the red on burlap was nice. Glad you like it. It prints nicely too.

What makes this particular picture stand out is the excellent cropping.

Thanks David, I loved the bright red stenciled letters on the burlap, it was a great contrast on top of the stacked bags. Ethnic groceries are a photographer’s delight. Or, any grocery that’s different from what you’re used to.

With all that talk about food, spices and prices, one would almost forget that this is a beautiful picture. I love it just as much as I love good Indian food.

Carthik: Italian seasoning at an Indian store… I can see why it might be hard ;).

However, I think what this represents is the fact that Americans don’t use as much spice in their food (not necessarily hot, just spice) as Indians and pretty much all Asians. Actually, pretty much everywhere else in the world except the UK. Makes me wish Indians (from India) settled this country, then we’d have a great batch of US original foods.

However, between imigration and globalization it’s happening anyway which is fine by me.
