Paks supermarket in Rotherham
This well stocked supermarket is well worth the short drive over from Sheffield to Rotherham! Isle after Isle of every spice you could imagine all methodically stacked they also sell cookware sacks of rice fresh curry leaves fresh turmeric etc etc! you name it and I'm sure they will stock it they also have their own butchery I've no doubt that most towns up and down the country and around the world have similar shops but this place is massive! anyone have a similar size shop/supermarket in their area

See Woo, Greenwich (but that is primarily Chinese rather than Indian/Pakistani/Bengali, although they carry many items from the latter range).

Hi Geoff

Yeah there's plenty I was just wondering where Imran was shopping just out of interest. And what sort of restaurant/takeaway he works at! ;) BTW I meant to ask you a while ago, have you ever seen Indian bay leaves/tej patta on sale in the Midlands Geoff? The only shop I've ever seen them in was in Bethnal Green which is no good unless your name's Reggie Kray!

Cheers
