African- Caribbean- Latin American Food at the Global Food Market in Pittsburgh
We were walking around Highland Avenue after a quick supper at Brgr, headed to the Shadow Lounge for the CD Release Party starting in a bit last Saturday night.
Popped into the Global Food Market and had a tour of all the ingredients available. (Thank you, Moses.) Going to research some recipes and try something new and completely different.
Hard to delete the photos – be sure to check out the giant yams with white inside and the pounded white yam powder.
Here is a link to explore African Cooking and Recipes

Very interesting ingredients! The research and development stage has already yielded some great captures.

I’ve no idea what the majority of those items are. It’s the same when I head into most Asian markets. I need a tour guide for these places.

Stunning shots Ruth! I do recognize some of those goodies like the Milo, Marmite and Cerelac.
Thanks for sharing..

Hi Ruth, it was a pleasure meeting you… I look forward to cooking some Ghanaian dishes for you and your friends. Let me know when…
@ChgoJohn, I’d gladly give you a tour of the store and what you can cook with some of the ingredients.
