I like their independence and vision to own their own business.. its the American dream. Our own ancestors came way back and dud the same. created businesses and built their lives. I have alit of respect for these small business owners..Thank you for their stories.

I walked along the Soho Road, in Handsworth, Birmingham, not long before Christmas, walking past beautiful, jewelled clothing of every colour, tempting sweet shops, purveyors of snack food and, my personal favourites, the grocery shops.
As a young thing, I found myself living in Tooting, South West London. Determined to learn to cook, I asked some of the grocers for advice – ” How should I cook this?” What spices do I need for spicy, but not too hot?” This is how I learned. As cash-strapped, I would cook enormous pots of vegetable curries and sealed my reputation as an “alright cook”. Unfortunately, my local high street doesn’t meet my needs although, joy of joys, we do now have a corner shop.
I hope the Whitechapel winds are not too cold for these industrious purveyors of all manner of things!

Kiosks are an amazing institution, even here in our country. I’ve often needed something at an unpleasant moment and then actually got it there. And at what a time! — It makes you wonder how these sales heroes can exist. But they do. And you have to be grateful for it and ideally buy something there from time to time to support them.

Now I finally know what Pakora and Jalebi are — delicious!

Love & Peace
