Spice markets are a good example of the latter, except when they're heavy on the chillies — those can be hard on the eyes, and not because of the gorgeous colours.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-10413553158586917302011-07-09T08:19:45.256+12:002011-07-09T08:19:45.256+12:00Probably not much different from spice shops for t...Probably not much different from spice shops for thousands of years.
