Fruit and vegetable market
March 14, 2023Dried fruit and nuts
March 14, 2023Outside Athens Central Market a row of shops with dried fruit and nuts, halva, spices, chocolate.
I bought nuts, chocolate, dates. The quality of the nuts and fried fruit for higher than would find in the UK.
Large urns which I assumed contained olive oil. No, peanut butter. The man lifted the lid. Wonderful aroma. I was tempted, but no jar. A jar was found for me. The smallest jar 500g, the next size 1kg.
Not permitted to sell olive oil in bulk. Has to be in a bottle or can. This makes sense. I would not buy from a bulk container. Oxidised, rancid
Diporto restaurant
March 7, 2023Diporto restaurant, a simple peasant restaurant hidden in a cellar beneath a derelict mansion behind the fruit and vegetable market of Athens Central Market.
Today bean soup.
Fruit and Vegetable Market Athens Central Market
March 7, 2023Supermarket shelves empty in the UK (or is it media hype). In Athens no shortages.
It cannot be the weather, though in the long term climate will impact food security.
For far too long supermarkets have screwed growers, we are now paying the price.

Today packed, people buying fish for public holiday on Monday
Fruit and vegetable market was also open.
Sadly not open the restaurant hidden in a cellar beneath a derelict mansion. I was hoping for chick pea or bean soup.
I made do with Αλεξανδρινό Κεμπάπ – Μοναστηράκι. A mistake, a big mistake. The food was disgusting. I should have carried on walking until I found somewhere better.
I could have found something to eat at Just Made 33.
