I chanced upon a farmers' market in Modica Bassa on Saturday: there were stalls piled high with cheeses, tables teeming with purple broccoli, artichokes so fresh they looked as if they would get up and dance and all sorts of other spring produce. October's olive oil was being sold for 5 euros a litre and the texture of this traditional bread was too perfect to resist. In times gone by shepherds would have carried bread such as this for it did not go off for many days. They would have softened it with a little olive oil.
Traditional, handwoven baskets were on sale too:
A perfect Saturday morning!
Yummy! I would have had two gelati.
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't resist the fresh bread, the golden oil, and the ice cream either...What a lovely morning!

ReplyDeleteI wish I had, lakeviewer. You'd have loved it, Claudia. It's nice of you to say so, jams. Not in thr market, WW. There are in the shops, though - I didn't dare look! Hi, Nunyaa. They are rather nice. It was indeed, LindyLouMac. And they were, Cherie!
ReplyDeleteI would not have been able to resist the bread :-) BTW we are going to Rimini well a village nearby I think :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that's really something.
