We have a produce market that I can walk to. Back in North Carolina, we had an awesome Farmer’s Market as well. But I didn’t go very often because it was a 20 minute drive. And I kind of hate driving.
A couple of weeks ago, I was able to bring home these treasures:
Danish tomatoes, peas and strawberries. There were little piles of pea casings on the streets here and there and I was intrigued. Had I ever eaten fresh peas right out of the pod? Honestly, I am not sure. Mmm, they were so sweet!
I am a strawberry snob. When I lived in the San Joaquin Valley of California we bought our strawberries roadside right after they were picked. Then I lived in North Carolina which is also a major supplier of strawberries so we also got to enjoy rockin’ good strawberries again. So I didn’t expect to like Danish strawberries. But they are good! They are smaller and more tart than what I am used to, but they are delicious in their own way.
The peas and the strawberries are now gone from the market, but I am still getting Danish tomatoes at the grocery store. Now the strawberries at the grocery store are Belgian.
This week I came home with Danish Clara Friis pears:
By the way, purple and lime green is a trendy home color-combo here right now. Love it.
