Envy! In Milan if you dare to touch a single fruit or vegetable at the market which happens on Mondays in my neighborhood they yell at you in loud, fast, incomprehensible Italian. I have no idea what they are saying, but the "thou shalt not touch" message is quite clear. One points, and one of the people working at the booth puts a huge quantity (more than one person can reasonable eat before it goes off if one wishes to eat more than one type of fruit or veg in a week) in to a bag without any regard for shape, size, color, or apparent freshness of the items. As a result I actually prefer to get my fruit and veg at the supermarket, where I can touch/smell the items myself and select only those items I actually want, in the amount I want them. The overall quality at the supermarket isn't as nice as the open air market, but at least I've got control over which individual pieces of fruit or vegetable I'm coming home with. Wish you had time to visit me, and on a Monday, too, so you could talk to them for me and find out *why* they are so against people choosing their own produce...A Life Long Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930670217574191380noreply@blogger.com
