It is easy for Americans
to forget that the food they eat
doesn't magically appear
on a supermarket shelf.

This is Jungle Jim's International Market in Ohio. It is a mega specialty market and more. It has been referred to as a "theme park" of food. They even have a small theater showing a movie of the family's farmers market, transformation, growth and history. This would be a great place to shop for Thanksgiving goodies.
Jungle Jim's offers one of the largest wine selections in the United States, has live seafood tanks and an in store cooking school. It carries many international foods and speciality foods that are not found anywhere else. With more than 200,000 square feet of shopping space, there are over 180,000 products from which to choose. They have 82,000 weekly shoppers.
The store's bathroom door looks like you are entering a portable toilet (Portable Potty) but it actually leads you to a regular large stall restroom. It is a riot!
Jungle Jim's is also known for its use of animatronics as well as other objects...a full size boat, vehicle, claw bathtub, vintage fire truck and camping trailer etc. We were there for about 2 hours and barely scratched the surface. It was a lot of fun to see. (That is me in the pink sombrero.)
@365projectorgheatherb@beverley365 So nice of you to comment and say I look good. Thank you. I will be turning 70 next year! I do not like photos of myself but love taking photos. I can tell the two of you read all my writing. :)
