As you walk the stalls, you can't help but be impressed with the variety, both in type and color. This 2nd post will feature more of that vibrancy and also showcase some of the farmer's market outliers.
[an interesting sales technique adopted by many of the vendors is to mound and showcase many of their items, in a unique way - some are more successful than others]
[i believe these are japanese eggplants, and some of the most interestingly hued ones i've ever seen - can you match this color in the Lowe's paint department?]
[so many kinds of tomatoes, this whole table. i don't even think i could name more than a handful of tomato varieties - you?]
[thinking tomatillos in green, possibly the purple too, not sure]
[mr. squash, meet mr. cauliflower]
[some people spell it p-o-t-a-t-o, some people spell it p-o-t-a-t-o-e, shrug. alls i know is this guys melons were huge]
[some people spell it p-o-t-a-t-o, some people spell it p-o-t-a-t-o-e, shrug. alls i know is this guys melons were huge]
[ever since the inaugural NYC trip, i can't walk past a hot or warm nuts sign without smirking. there are so many possible jokes and almost none of them work on paper, or even in person]
[and lastly, one of the most, if not the most popular booth at the whole market - the sausage guy. not only will he cat-call at any attractive woman that walks by, he'll sell you a regular or spicy brat, with the works, at 8 in the morning. kids, high-school girls, moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas - everyone has a sausage in their mouth. i have not dared to try yet - and please don't dare me]
