Description:
Today I stopped at an Asian market and was amazed at all the great stuff I never noticed before - tea for swaps, wonderful decorated paper, flavorings, snacks, etc. I love trying new things, and I love ethnic food! In my area there are Asian markets and Spanish markets, but not others, and there are so many other wonderful foods and decorative items and miscellany in the world that is new and unfamiliar to us. For this swap, you'll shop at an ethnic market and send your partner about $10 worth of easy to pack items. They can be food or non-food, but they should be items that you can't get in the ethnic aisles of a typical supermarket. For international swappers, it's fine to get things at your local market for items typical of your country as long as they are not items commonly found in the US/Canada. Any food items will need to be well sealed, non-perishable, and meat products are probably prohibited by customs for international swaps. Feel free to email your swap partner if you have any concerns about customs issues. Swappers with ratings under 4.2 or with more than 1 no-send will be banned. Newbies with no ratings please contact me before signing up. I'm really looking forward to this!

In my area I have Asian Markets and Puerto Rican markets. I love trying new things, tea, candy, crackers, snacks, cooking implements, little dishes, condiments and I'm open to any cuisine. Whatever you send, I'll be delighted!

I have lots of different types of markets here. However, I rarely go to the primarily Asian (non-Indian Asian) markets and usually go to the Middle Eastern/Indian/Pakistani markets. So anything from an Asian or Hispanic market would be cool. Please do not send anything that has pork or pork products in it.

Thanks!

I am open for anything! We have lots of great markets around here, but I rarely get time to go- I'm sure I would enjoy anything! I can't eat dairy right now (a little bit as an ingredient is okay- just no cheese or creme puffs or something. lol!). If you've already gotten cheese and creme puffs ;) no worries, dh or kids will take care of it!

I live in a major port city and there's all kinds of ethnic markets here. I would enjoy anything you might send but it has been a long time since I've had any Scotch thick cut orange marmalade or English lemon curd on my toast. Hmmmm... (mouth watering)

Ethnic Market trade is a good way for me to make some money. I can start by selling my own food in the ethnic market, and then I will move on to selling food from other people's stalls. Try this Cybersecurity companies Cape Girardeau for best reviews. I like this idea because it is very easy for me to get started, and it does not require much time or effort from my side. And even more importantly, the risk of failing at this business is very low compared to other business ideas that I have had before.
