...definitely existed" in town, was less than helpful when asked for specifics, such as the physical address of said market. So instead, I scurried around the canned food section of an extremely sanitized store (already a bad sign for authenticity) and came away with canned bamboo shoots and baby corn, which would have appalled my mother, who never serves anything that has previously been sealed and shelved...
...regulars at Best Price is Rohit Kalia, 29, a restaurateur, who is filling an already overflowing trolley with a 5-kg pack of paneer - the Indian vegetarian's favorite cottage cheese - and 12 tins of baby corn.

The boom helped push energy outfit MDU Resources onto the Fortune 500 (the first North Dakota firm to make the list) and the state budget to a $1.2 billion surplus. State workers around the country are being told to sit at home without pay to trim costs...
