I suspect that most of us find ourselves in a food market at least once a week. However, unless you've been to Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield, Ohio (near Cincinnati), you have just been shopping for bread and eggs. This amazing six acre extravaganza has a singing soup can, Robin Hood and even a machine to buy smushed pennies (the sign of a real tourist stop!). Add in massive fish tanks, exotic foods (green bean Popsicles from Asia...ick?) and even a real bathroom disguised as a Port 'O potty! If you go on the weekends they have loads of samples to taste. If you desire a guided tour you must go during the week and call ahead. For me and mine, we just go... the store is simply amazing! You won't need an official tour to be impressed, amazed and entertained! Want to try rattlesnake? You might find some. Are you curious how many types of olives exist in the world? You might just find out! Make a day of it! There are plenty of places to eat in the surrounding strip. Take home a postcard, map and maybe even one of those crazy smushed pennies! I've yet to take anyone who wasn't delighted! For more info check out their website at: http://www.junglejims.com/attractions/jungle_jims_attractions.asp.
