Thank you Jim, I am bringing you some of the greens from China to live in harmony with the vaunted greens of England!

Love the colors and angles you chose to show off these wonderful veggies! I'm with you and Bill on those pickled 1000 year eggs.... yikes!
Had a buddy that dared to eat an american version of pickled eggs. Cost me $50 for loosing the bet and he didn't keep it down long either.... I don't think he was really the winner in that bet... just saying.

Yes, those green (and other colored) veggies in Asian street markets are always a stimulant for me: my trigger finger goes into overdrive. I just love these fresh greens, they look so inviting.

I have actually eaten a portion of a pickled egg, it was ok, not revolting, but not particularly great - and certainly it does not look enticing. I honestly cannot remember too much about the taste or the experience, but I basically shy away from it unless I absolutely would "lose face" declining a bite.

What I definitely would never ever eat is balut - a Filipino specialty that can also be found in other parts of South East Asia. It consists of a "fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell, developing feathers, beak and all". The sheer thought of it is revolting. I still can remember the street vendors in the evening roaming through the streets of Manila, shouting out at full force the words "balooooot, balooooot, balooooot ....."

If you dare to read about this delicacy, here is an article from Wikipedia:

No wonder our life expectancy in this country is plummeting Where can you go here in order to buy such fresh, delicious, healthy produce From farm directly to the market What you have here are some phenomenally beautiful compositions - and they've just blown me away 🌿💚🌿💚🌿

Thanks Joe, that is one of the advantages of these daily or periodic open air markets, the produce are definitely very fresh and look enticing - bon appetit!

Nicely shot set Joe, good looking vegetables. I'll pass on the "Thousand Year Eggs" though... they may be a delicacy over there, but they don't look too appealing to me. Guess its just something a lot different than what we are used too here.

Beautifully done, Joe. The vegetable displays were wonderful. I liked that the backdrop for the fascinating egg display was the vendor concentrating on carving a fish with a clever. He’d better be careful or the fish vendor will start selling eggs. 🙂

O'Brien Road in Hong Kong - seems out of place to me but there are probably many non-asian names there.
A very fine set, Joe.
