In a trip full of highlights, this may have been the biggest of them all. It was fascinating to tour the market—learning about new vegetables, spices, condiments, fruits, and methods of preservation and preparation. Nim was an incredibly knowledgable and patient host, allowing our curiosity and appetites to guide our experience. Once we had gathered all the ingredients, we enjoyed a relaxed and intimate evening preparing our meal, talking about food, nutrition, Sri Lankan culture and history, and generally having a fantastic evening making a wonderful new friend. I'm convinced touring markets and cooking meals with local ingredients and local people is the absolute best way to experience a new place. Our time with Nim is proof of that. Thank you Nim!!!
