For a long time I have not gone to the market in my neighborhood. I mean, I went, I go several times a week. But I didn't shoot anymore, everyone was upset when I took photos.
My old market
But I felt the lack of posts about the classic market for #marketfriday, with farmers and food market. I like going to the market to buy fruit and vegetables. Neither this time I made too many photos or the quality is not good, I had to shoot on the run.
A few words about the market. It is a very old market, located on the outskirts of Bucharest. This is the periphery, the market is not too beautiful, the sellers are inhabitants of the surrounding villages but the products are fresh, some even bio!
The secret!
Let me tell you a secret! I like to buy from margin sellers who are not left in the main market. Most times they have the best merchandise!
Market seen through the mirror
I went into the main hall of the market, I took some pictures in a mirror.
The bakery
Another place I like in the market is a bakery. There is baked bread in ovens where wood burns. Bread is very good!
Pickles!
I bought several products but the main purpose was to buy cucumbers. Cucumbers to prepare them for the winter. Pickles!
For these pickles I needed: cucumbers, garlic, carrot, celery, chilli, pepper, mustard, water, salt, vinegar.
Place cucumbers with pieces of carrot, garlic, celery and hot pepper in jars. Boil water with salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar and then put on cucumbers in jars. After two weeks they are very good to eat.
Beautiful autumn!
This autumn is truly wonderful. At least until now. The gentle sun also came into my kitchen!
In order to respect the tradition I must end with a flower!

If you want to add something new to your everyday habits then you may want to confess and share memories, passions and other less known things about you. We do that on Saturday in a new challenge called SAM!
Thank you so much, Dan! I have certainly missed the neighborhood market and even though they don't like pictures, you have done an outstanding job of sneaking some really good ones in!
I love this kind of market, they have so much more character and familiarity about them, I love seeing my neighbors and friends, vendors that I know so well. It makes shopping so much nicer. I will tell you... sometimes I will stand like I am texting and snap pictures, then continue to pretend, That is when I am sneaking. It works all the time. I hate to have to do that, but, their suspiciousness, although well-founded, should be at rest just knowing you and how long you have been there. No?
I had many markets like that at home when I was growing up, not pretty, but the prices were good and the produce was the very freshest. You cannot ask for anything more. I would rather do without the fancy trimming and go for the goods! They were always on the outskirts of town as the town didn't really appreciate the mess these markets made. Oh, my! Now, everyone loves these markets!
The margin sellers are where I would shop first! Yes! Sometimes it is not always perfect, but most times, it is better. I do not need perfect for soups and stews etc. Wood burning ovens and bread? Oh, my! You are speaking to my soul now!
I have never used chilis in my pickles and now you have made me curious how they would turn out, so, of course, I am going to have to make a small batch and try them out. I can eat my weight in pickles! (and olives!) Thank you for the wonderful show of how you make your pickles! As usual, you have graced me with a flower and the recipe for a new kind of pickle . ( I love hot!) So, thank you and I hope you had a wonderful #MarketFriday! I know I did just reading your post!

Tip!
Thank you, Denise! It is clear that you know very well such places, cities and markets as the ones I have presented. You see your European origin that makes you understand so well what I have shown here. I can say that I appreciate what you like ... that means we were like. I'm glad of that. I was pleased to write again about the neighborhood market.
Just know I could visit your neighborhood market every #MarketFriday!
Of course. I'm waiting for you in the market.
:) Hehehe I will find you!
For sure...I will stay there.
hello Den! if I was offered a choice: beautiful vegetables but of dubious naturalness or not very beautiful but natural :))) what would I choose? of course the second! :))) it's good that you have such a market where you can buy it. I think I saw you in the glass of the market :)))) people in Israel do not preserve vegetables because they have them all year round. but after I read about your cucumbers, I thought to do it too. but not for the winter but to eat after it is ready. you have a beautiful autumn !!!! I miss this a little while living in Israel
Thank you for reading! You're right in everything you say (even the one in the mirror). I know that in Israel there is a very advanced agriculture, it is also exported to Romania.
If you prepare cucumbers ... they are very tasty after a week or two.
