Spices Of Middle East

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Today I'll show you some interesting stuff from our visit to Dubai Global Village. In one of the many pavilions, they have a nice spice market. I don't remember which country it was but I think that's not important because the spices are same or similar in this region. And probably there is also a lot of imported ones too.

Comming from the Mediterranean country I'm familiar and proud of our cuisine and selection of spices.

I find out how poor is my knowledge on this topic. At first, I try to read the labels and ask some questions, but I soon figured out that it's pointless.
Merchants and customers start staring at me and I can saw in their eyes what they think about a clueless stranger.

I grabbed my phone. It knows better what to do in this kind of situation than me. It's a smartphone; how can an oldtimer compete with this kind of sophisticated machine. The only thing I can do is to click the trigger.

And here are some of the results.

There was not much barter. Maybe customers were scared of the knife the boss keeps on his belt.

I'll try to find more photos for you. Have a great day and see you tomorrow.

some things are similar to the Chinese market , thanks for sharing@oldtimer.

Great post @oldtimer. One of the last things I thought I'd see on Steemit.
So true re spice knowledge and being a 1st gene from a Mediterranean country, I'm proud of our cuisine and spices. A close friend of mine who is from Montreal (and hockey beer league teammate) started this company here in LA about a decade ago. http://spicestationsilverlake.com/

Ha ha! Let the smartphone do all the work! Good idea and good snapping. The variety of spices here that I've never seen before is impressive

This is a real Paradise for a person who likes to cook. I can imagine how delicious the aroma of spices! Stunningly!

It looks like there would be many spices there that I would be unfamiliar with, too! I bet it smelled great in there.
