Aside from that I once again felt a little sorry for myself that I couldn't just take all those wonderful fruit, vegetable and herbs home with me - but just look for yourself - and don't scroll all the way down if you are of a delicate disposition.....
A typical Moroccan welcome - Mint Tea
The Souk in Agadir
the first strawberries of the season
all the spices you could want for
oranges from the horn of plenty
fragrant herbs
beautifully displayed vegetables
and no shortage of eggs
olives
and more olives
cookies
nuts and fruits
And now the butcher's
Sheep's heads
Tripe and sheep's feet - as the sign says: Taste Nature!
How beautiful! (except the sheep heads and tripes).
ReplyDeleteOnce you are there, those displays are not really all that bad. I remember having Tripes à la Fiorentine in Firenze and they were rather delicious.
Deletehow wonderful! i would love to shop there!
ReplyDeleteJoyce I think we would have a blast shopping there together!
DeleteAmazing displays. Not sure I have ever seen sheep's head in a market or at a butcher. I hope you are having a good time on your trip.
ReplyDeleteMichel, we had a great time and wonderful summer weather. Hope you and Shirley are safely back home.
DeleteYou have just displayed what I love most about travel. We are all different, around the world, and yet the goal is to feed and nourish those at the table. Wonderful pictures. I know I would love Morocco.
ReplyDeleteSusan, if you have never been you really should go. It is a beautiful country and its people are kind and welcoming.
DeleteAbsolutely amazing photos - I love the colors - I especially like the spices and the vegetables! Just utterly amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you also for visiting my blog and leaving such a kind comment! Nice to "meet" you and get to know your blog this way!
Have a wonderful weekend - I am looking forward to your future posts!
Thank you Andrea, I very much like your blog and put it on my blogroll. Schöne Grüsse aus der Provence!
DeleteYou do the most interesting things. This sounds like so much fun. I would love to get my hands on the herbs and spices.
ReplyDeleteAnd here in Provence I was so glad to find the first little bunch of fresh basil today....
DeleteThis is very necessary goods that we need everyday. All the fruits and vegetables are so fresh.
ReplyDeleteMerci!
DeleteI know I would love Morocco too! It has long been on my list of Places to Visit and I hope one day I will! Your foodie photos are reminiscent of here! Did it remind you of Turkey? I'm sure it did! Those piles of olives were pretty impressive, I thought ....
ReplyDeleteHello Claudia - you are absolutely right - Morrocco's markets did remind me of Turkey. But I still can't wait to get back to Istanbul!
DeleteSuper photos! I'm not the least squeamish...was raised with beef tongues, chicken feet, pigs feet etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara, I guess we had the same kind of nicely oldfashioned upbringing where you had to at least try anything once....
DeleteAm not squeamish at all. Just love the photographs.
