What they're eating in the south of France #4

Turnips, onions, parsnips, celery

I had asked my friend in Perpignan if she would be so kind as to take her camera next time she went to an outdoor market. Anivid is an excellent photographer and really knows how to tell a story with a camera, though she was never, like me, a journalist. Here are her photos from a Catalan market. Why, Anivid wondered, is this so interesting to me? Because, I replied, the south of France, with its Mediterranean diet, is one of the places that sets a standard for the rest of the world. Also, because I aspire to be a farmer, I like to see what sort of fresh, local produce is available at any given time of year, anywhere.
