One of the greatest things about being an epicurean in Tampa is the ethnic diversity here. Thus, there is enough of a demand to open specialized grocers. There are Korean, Chinese, Carribean, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, Japanese, Paki, Indian, et al markets here. In my experience, they all tend to be reasonably priced with a few generic staples, a modest produce section, and a lot of "niche" ingredients.
The Third Challenge
Keeping that in mind, here is your challenge. Each participant will be randomly assigned a specific ethnic/specialty market here in Tampa. You will have to construct a dish made ONLY from ingredients obtained at that market. You may choose whether or not your dish is influenced by the ethnicity that your market targets; for example, if you get a Korean grocer, it is up to you as to whether or not you make a Korean dish. That being said, use of interesting ingredients is encouraged! Salt, pepper, and vegetable oil are freebies, and I will provide those.
