Dear Amalia, wow, fresh fruits from the market what a beautiful sight. Here it is very cold, I'm looking forward to the spring time. Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy weekend !
WOW ! This is SO mouth watering ! I could eat e-ve-ry-thing :)) Love, love markets. When we are in Provence, I don't miss any of them... and yours looks so welcoming, too. THANKS for those lovely pictures, in the middle of our local cold winter. XOXOXO NADINE
My dream is to live in a small village where we can walk to a farmer's market to buy what we aren't able to grow, so your pictures make me long even more for that dream. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place.
Hi Amalia, I like your market day. Thank you for showing all the interesting items sold at the market. I always tend to buy more than I need whenever I go to the market.
Very beautiful and colorful market with the winding streets. The stone church is interesting as well. Are those eggplants with holes in them? Are all the different grains lentils? xoxo Su
Yes, they sell both eggplants and courgettes already hollowed so that you can make a dish of stuffed vegetables without too much work. My favorite veg to stuff is pepper but it is already hollow :-) And yes to the lentils.
Incredible pictures... unique details shared... as always Amalia, you seek to please :) I was amazed all the varieties of fruit/veggies and some I've never seen or heard of.. and the beautiful plates of food! Spice in coffee? What spices would that be? What a delight... thank you for sharing this beautiful market with me today... a feast for the eyes indeed!
The coffee has cardamom in it. Traditionally cardamom has healing properties but it also makes the coffee extra yummy and strong, Thanks for the lovely comment! And a hug.
We are buried in snow today, can't leave the house...but...if in my dreams, I am right there, grabbing a big cookie, taking in all the lovely sights and smells! Thanks for the trip today. I'm a little warmer already!
I love visiting markets to see all the different foods, thanks for sharing these pics. I use cardamom and chilli in coffee and hot chocolate, what spices do you use? Hx
Gorgeous photos, Amalia! What a feast for the eyes to take a walk through your Wadi's market. Such colour...such variety of delicious foods. The aromas that would radiate from each stall would be intoxicating. I wouldn't mind trying some of that yummy cuisine. Indeed, my tummy's rumbling! =)
Is the church in the first photo still going? The windows look boarded up. Oh my, the food! The OLIVES! Are those chestnuts over the fire? The baked goods!! I so want to taste every little thing and smell every little thing! Thank you.
The church was indeed closed. The chestnuts were indeed roasting. The man selling the chestnuts was also roasting yums, a first for me, and they were just as good. Thank you for the lovely message. And a hug.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog, Amalia. By doing so, it gave me the opportunity to find your blog, and I absolutely love it! It is curious, poetic and your photographs are captivating. I look forward to enjoying more of your posts.
I would love to visit Wadi Nisnas on market day! And where is Wadi Nisnas? I must google it. Your market strolls are always full of variety, so many textures and colors, and then that shot of the marvelous well used and well cared for pots all lined up!
Lovely! And exotic, even the roasted chestnuts, which I'm ashamed to say I've never tasted.
The Wadi is in downtown Haifa, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The tiny shop that has the pots is right at the center of the market and sells home cooked dishes, mostly vegetables in season. You can take them home or eat there. The lady who owns the shop told me that she'd been there for 57 (!) years.
Oh and how interesting... The eggplants and other veggies, are sold, scooped out. Which is different from how they are sold here. Here, they are sold whole.
Different ways, in different areas of the world! :-)
Again thank you.
Gentle hugs, Tessa Upper North East of the United States
Thank you, Carla. What a smashing comment. It is very popular around here to make a dish of stuffed vegetables. You can buy small eggplants and courgettes already hollowed and ready to be stuffed. Or you can buy them whole, of course.
Wow I am not sure what country this is but it looks totally gorgeous, love the streets the produce layouts I can just imagine the hustle and bustle and friendly chatter. It looks beautiful, dee x
Beautiful market! I walked with you :) Here in Portugal we have similar vegetables especially lots of olives and chestnut. Thank you for sharing this interesting post with amazing photos. Hope you have a wonderful week! Hugs and love from Portugal, Ana Love Craft www.lovecraft2012.blogspot.com
Thank you, Ana. I think that there are a lot of similarities between our countries, what with the climate and the sea. I do hope to visit Portugal one day soon, it is at the top of my list :-)
I love markets, but this is the most cheerful and wonderful I've ever seen, my darling Amalia, thank you for sharing these so lovely images with us ! Sending blessings on your day with love Dany
A gorgeous post, Amalia! Love all your colourful photos and the little rhyme :) Thank you too for your kind and thoughtful comments to me recently x Have a wonderful week ahead. Helen xox
Ahhhh! These photos are such a feast! The market as seen through your lens is like being there with you as you point out the special things to a friend. Love the battered pot of chestnuts roasting over the hot coals, the sacks of grains, the cabbages that look like a painting, the rows of cooking pots their lids raised as they chat together ... all captured beautifully. And then a fun "rhymalia" to wrap it up ;) Wendy x
Through your eyes, the market looks like a fine art show, Amalia. The colors of the food and the bright blue skies make me long for summer. Thank you for sharing your photos with us!
I do love a good market, there is so much more inspiration here than the lifeless plastic coated packaging found in supermarkets. Gorgeous photos of everything that's on offer. Take care xx
We make a dish of stuffed vegetables, either with rice and spices or rice with ground meat. The other veg is two kinds of courgettes. We usually serve the stuffed courgettes in tomato sauce and the stuffed eggplants baked in the oven. This market is the only place I know that sells vegetables already hollowed, which is a good thing because stuffing them is work enough :-)
The market looks amazing. I wish we had more like that here in the States. When we travel to Europe, one of our favorite things to do is shop at all of the wonderful little markets!
Uma caminhada "aromática" que nos enche de vontade de provar algumas delícias! Obrigada pelo carinho com a Lojinha Poções de Arte . Abração e lindo dia.
I've enjoyed walking in the market with you, all those lovely stalls and tasty produce. Your photos are super, thank you for taking us to see such wonderful places:)
All that food looks so lovely! I've never seen aubergines sold with holes in them before, but then I guess they just aren't popular in England! And the cakes/pastries look delicious.
Thank you, Amalia, for walking us around the Wadi Nisnas market. It's wonderful to be able to see other peoples homelands!
Recently we've been drinking Earl Grey tea with cardamoms, as in Persian tea, must try them in our coffee too!
Dear Amalia,
ReplyDeletewow, fresh fruits from the market what a beautiful sight. Here it is very cold, I'm looking forward to the spring time. Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy weekend !

I love outdoor markets - and your photos are so lovely! Thanks for sharing.
