The meat is a deep purple. I guess it was beetroot.

I've grown them in my rooftop garden sometimes & that's what I'm recalling ...not those in the supermarket which, otherwise, I might imagine had been hybrid to aesthetic viewing perfection. I love beets, pickled or otherwise. Takes me back to childhood. Growing up in north of England my mom would make pickled beet sandwiches ....yum*~* When going to a restaurant I'm sometimes surprised with an interesting beet dish on the menu. No, don't look like beets to me. Was the flesh very firm & have ringed veins in it? Thanks for your input on 'viewing the ML' series. Was an interesting experiment to document the viewers rather than that which they were viewing. Not sure why the guards told me to stop. They made that request only after I moved to the front of the crowd to shoot rather than within or on the periphery of the crowd. Perhaps they thought I was now too conspicuous & someone being photographed might complain *~*<br /><br />Patricia Speck o<br />I have never seen beetroot look like this, but I guess they could be more 'natural' ones.<br />Excellent shot all the same my friendThou Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475763785246900213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166411733358732618.post-41615358675620688602013-12-15T22:23:10.883+08:002013-12-15T22:23:10.883+08:00Onasill

Good to see his broad smile in this pic. Tis' true, we tend to rely so much on verbal language for communication. Of course, words are such a major channel of communication. But sometimes we forget other possible ways of connecting, communicating, of finding common ground such as via nonverbal means or through music.Thou Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475763785246900213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166411733358732618.post-8429259355294958722013-12-15T19:25:18.735+08:002013-12-15T19:25:18.735+08:00:-) A great story Thou San!

1000 Reasons (Busy, busy, busy)
This is the pass...<br />1000 Reasons (Busy, busy, busy) <br />This is the passionate Italian shopkeeper that we met on the first evening in Parma. We will be meeting many more. Italian shop owners are high up on my list of the most friendly shopkeepers in the world whether you are buying or not. Unfortunately, the reputations of Italian pickpockets are also well deserved from my personal experience. But that is a story for another day.<br /><br />nikolaos p. <br />Nice shot!!<br /><br />bjebie <br />Interesting, as always. I look forward to more from your adventure. :-)<br /><br />ineedathis <br />What else but banana:-) you captured a beautiful smile by the vender!<br />Have a great weekend my friend.Thou Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475763785246900213noreply@blogger.com
