Gorgeous veggies from a tiny Cretan market

Kalispera from Crete! Just a very quick post before i go out for my evening meal (sosmug hehehe) to implore people to buy fruit and veg from local markets when abroad! Me mum and dad trapsed down to Elounda town this morning to the tiny little veg market with some of the sweetest old folk running the stalls. A tiny 7 euros later

For such a small amount of money we have some of the freshest most gorgeous veggies and herbs I've had in a very long time, so sweet, colourful and quirky - look at the funky round courgettes and stripey aubergines! I feel like a kid in a sweetshop thinking of all the things I could do with them (yes I realised how incredibly sad that just made me look. I'll take the hit) Im definitely gonna whip up a Greek salad with the cucumber, tomatoes, peppers and red onion. Could make a tempura, or roast them all to put into pasta, or I could make tzatziki with the cucumber and fresh mint and cut the rest of the veg into crudités to dip into it. Anyway. I'm sure whatever I make I'll post. All this talk of food is making me hungry Just wanted an excuse to post a pretty picture hehe H x P.s. I'm writing on an iPad and apparently I'm too special to work out how to format words. Pin It Now!
