The Culture of Food

Pimpkins - the farmers market
Pimpkins is a small farmers market. Mostly they sell all kinds of fruits and vegetables, but you can buy more things like milk, bread, eggs, juice or honey. It's not called farmers market without sense. The pricing level is surprisingly low, often on the same level like Krogers or lower. The inventory is very rustic and useful, so you believe that it's fresh and healthy. By the cars that parks in front and the few people who shopped I would say the customers are mostly out of the middle and higher classes. The most are very health-conscious.



Kroger - the supermarket with different faces


The Krogers in Clifton is used by a lot of lower class people. It isn't very clean inside and you get the impression that there buy allot of Afro American people their food. But the Krogers near the malt is very nice. The products are presented in noble wooden racks and every thing looks very exclusive. The also have a section with health-conscious food.


Jungle Jim - shopping around the world



Jungle Jim is an international market. For almost every country or region they have a one section with specialty's and typical food. The store is really huge, I would estimate that is like three soccer fields. The range is compelling, for example there are hundreds of different kinds hot sauces. There is a lot of entertainment in the shop like firefighter cars, cabs or a huge Robbin Hood puppet show. They have allot exotic fruits and vegetables, so they have also health-conscious food. In Jungle Jim there bought people from many different countries their food, because you can buy things you won't find in other shops.
