Currywurst of yore

Hi!

I have some interesting old food pics from Europe that I never shared on here. Maybe they will give me some ideas. Maybe they will give you some ideas. What's for certain is that as long as I am typing on my blog I don't have to write my client memo. Yes! Anyway, I just put up a few that I thought were particularly tasty or funny or pretty. Enjoy!



Currywurst!



La Boqueria!

Meats and Eggs and Squid oh my!



Jamon



As a side note, has anyone noticed that Egg salespeople are usually a little weird. The guy who sold me eggs in DC was a little strange. This lady was even more strange. She sold ostrich eggs. Those are the big ones in the picture.



Squid! This is from a bar I would go to a lot in the market. The only way to stomach Spanish beer is to eat Spanish food.

Just for funzies here are a few more from the market.



Strawberries




Candy

Here are some oranges in Majorca. I thought they looked pretty, so I took a picture. I was feeling homesick, and then I drank the oranges' succulent juice. Then I realized I didn't want to go home. Ever. But I did.



Last, but certainly not least, is a pic from my fish monger in Barce. This place was about four or five doors down from my apartment. For a boy raised in landlocked Tennessee, where the closest thing you could get to fresh fish was popcorn shrimp at Shoney's, this was the most amazing discovery in the world. It was absolutely tiny inside, but they had the most bizarre types of fish and shellfish. Once, I tried to purchase these huge bright pink prawns, like fuchsia colored prawns. The lady rang me up. I kept trying to pay her, but she wouldn't give me the shrimp or take my money! Apparently, I had misheard 8 euros a kilo and it was 88 euros a kilo. And by misheard I mostly mean that my Spanish is terrible.

Anyway! Every night when I would walk home after drinking at the bars I would walk past this sign and know I was home. All fish mongers should have such a sign. I demand it. Also, I want to look like that when I am and old man/sea captain.



Ciao,
