Yell More, Sell more - the markets

What fun it is to stroll through the food market!

In fact, we have two markets, Ballarò, the local nearby market -  fish and fruit and veg., where they wrap the food up with a thick sheet of paper and roll it into a cone.

While the Capo, we  found by accident on the way home.  It's more street food, less scary. 

  We've been to the Lidl  supermarket where, intending to buy a small  block of butter, we bought a small block of yeast. Whoops

At old Ballarò, I made mistakes, too, and annoyed people. I touched the tenemuri with my hand. Whoops. Then, I couldn't understand  the corner-shop guy, he got a bit cross. He was saying €3.20 - not hard to translate you'd think -  he had to write it down. gawd. I said that we are babies "siamo bambini".  

As well, I got ripped off, I think. We bought super-salty ricotta, yuck.. I bought a pomegranate for Don from a juice vendor for €1. Then saw then €2 per kg grrr.

Here's a trap, I  want just one thing, say, a ricotta, the vendor puts a second thing in the bag and says €10 the lot.  I can't complain though, the food everywhere is amazing.  We've had panelle, a kind of chickpea flour pancake. Delicious.  We've had the famous arancini - a rice ball stuffed with a yummy filling, the granite and canoli. From street market we got beautiful mixed food from a street deli, to add to pasta, carciofi, melazane and polpi-  We ate at home.  Our tiny kitchen , just a whisker smaller than ours at home, doesn't have an oven - but we don't want your sympathy.
