That's very helpful, thank you.

I guess I buy my vegetables at a "wet market", because I just get them by the side of the road, I just didn't know the lingo. They don't sell any meat there though, so I'll have a look around.

I often cook at home, but mostly typical local fare (stir fry w/rice).

I do keep a few western ingredients on hand so I can have a taste of home from time to time, like feta cheese and black olives for Greek salad, refried beans, sour cream, and tortillas for huevos rancheros, and potatoes for, well, a bunch of things. I get all of those at Metro (to earlier posters, I did need to get a Metro card in order to shop there, but I did not need to have a business card to get a Metro card, just my ID).

One thing I would like to figure out is how to buy decent quality chicken, especially chicken breasts, because I usually cook with them. Walmart, Carrefour, and Metro have all been a no-go so far. Anyone have advice on that front? I live in the Green Lake area.

Also, what is a wet market?
