We who live in the San Fernando Valley are spoiled in this regard. I live
a short walk from a both a Pakistani grocer and a small Armenian market. A
bit further away an Indian market is next to an Israeli supermarket. Lots of
Latino places, of course. And more than a few Persian places. One of which
makes its own lavash (about four feet long) and a kind of green quiche
which I THINK is made with spinach and mint.
Whatever it is, it's lucky I only bought one slice. If I'd bought ten, I
would have finished those on the drive home as well.
