Un court aller-retour à Montréal

After that big breakfast we headed off to here

I am always amazed by the European markets. This one in Montréal is very much in that vein. I can’t figure out why most large American cities don’t have the equivalent.

Tomatoes that looked like little jewels. $4 for a quart size box. There were bushels of romas for $15. Crazy huh?

It’s October. The strawberries are still amazing. These aren’t Driscoll varieties. Look at the prices. Drives me crazy what quality there is for the price compared to NYC.

A few more shots showing the variety of produce here.

Finally have you ever seen a bunch of celery this big?

You can tell Montreal is surrounded by farm country. When the wind blows a certain way you can smell the manure in the air.
