Following on from my last post, Milan is a foodie heaven. You do not have to look far to find beautiful produce. On my last day I headed for the small fresh market of Largo V Alpini in the north west of Milan. It was very small but oh I was in fresh market heaven!
 |
| A huge display of fabulous fruit and veg! |
 |
I love the presentation of uniform vegetables:- round
courgettes, artichokes, radicchio and white onions
|
 |
Courgette flowers - something of a delicacy - tomatoes,
peppers and the fabulous tree shaped romanescu
cauliflowers.
|
 |
Every fruit imaginable pineapples, apples,
strawberries, oranges.... |
 |
I loved these rosettes of Chicorino they
were beautiful and I have never seen them before. |
 |
| Smaller vegetables/salad leaves and herbs. |
 |
| Nuts |
 |
Various preserved fish, capers, sun dried
tomatoes, nuts etc.. |
 |
| Colourful pulses. |
 |
Salted Fish here and preserves and honey in
the background. |
 |
| Every kind of olive imaginable! |
 |
| A lovely cheese shop sold a huge variety of cheese. |
 |
| A lovely colourful plant shop. |
