Thanks, Steve. I'm holding my breath and hoping it keeps working! Not quite, James ... not quite. AW & LA - nice to meet you and I'm coming over to your blogs tomorrow. Thanks for commenting. Auguri.
What a lovely bunch of coco...whoops...garlic!
Is that garlic with the stalks like that? I have never seen anything like it!
YUMMY!
I love garlic! Great shots...
Augurri,

No prices and no names! I am always amazed that I see things in the Italian markets that I don't recognize. We think we can get everything everywhere but there are always some new things to intrigue us when we travel.
I can see tomatoes, onions and garlic mainly. Did you have a tomato salad with crushed garlic, finely chopped onion with some parsley on top? With olive oil, of course. Sounds good.
Have you ever tried smoked garlic?
Love stalls like that WL...I shudder when I go shopping here....everything has to be just so....when we were on holiday there, we went shopping everyday for our dinner or lunch..

Oops! I seem to have forgotten to reply to some of the comments on this one, so apologies to all: Nice one, Lee! Hi, M, yes, garlic in the front. I love it, too. Jmb, he does put labels and prices up but they fall down in the wind and with people's enthusiasm to get at the goods! Hi, eurodog, no, I didn't that day but I love that kind of salad. Yes, I love smoked garlic, too. Anne, I agree. Janejill, you are right: a gesture like that lifts your heart.
