Thank God for globalisation and mass migration: ethnic groceries in London

"Sesame oil, almonds in slices,
Dried lotus leaves and Indian spices,
Bunches of French herbs tied up with strings
Those are a few of my favourite things."

This is the kind of sight that makes my head spin from excitement: stacks and rows exotic foodstuffs whose names and uses I don't know. I can spend days exploring stores like this.

More stuff to make me fall over myself: exotic recipes from Brixton Market.
