You know this is one of my favorite topics… food around the world.
I love visiting grocery stores in different countries, because it feels a lot more like I’m dropping in on people living the most mundane scenes in everyday life. And that gives me the strongest sense of what’s different and what’s the same country-to-country.
Recently, I’ve realized that this sense for the world has had a big, glaring omission.
Wet markets. A very large portion of the world doesn’t regularly go to a supermarket. The open air community market is the spot.
This video is one that I put together in installments over time, resulting in scenes filmed across four different continents… plus a nearby Seafood City.
Love the way food tells a story.
