An early market in Suriname

This dutch stand has all kinds of Surinamese veggies

Hubby hates changes, but sometimes when not in season the blueberries are so sour, you should see his face. So I buy the golden berries and super small grapes which are much sweeter and in season.

This guy has the best stuff ever, with water melons already carved so you can stuff them with ground beef. But checkout the quality of all his stuff really. It's hard on the local stores who are also trying to survive, but guess what it's called competition

This is a great stand with lots of dried teas and spices

I believe in fresh spices rather than dries, but sometimes some dried spices are better nd have more flavor, so never exclude them from your diet

On a sandwich with butter, sooo yummy

No one wears a mask, and they are selling all their lovely goods

In the Netherlands a specialty is fried cod. This is in one piece called leaker ben, yes it battered and we eat it with a love sauce, like tartar or whisky sauce

This is a delicacy in the Netherlands smoked eel smoked herring so delish on a bun with butter

Every day fresh on the market in Amsterdam

Although high in cholesterol and fat....Cheese is one of the things I always crave, there is not one cheese I don't like the skinnier the better. But cheese prices are so high here in Aruba, also in NYC the prices do not make any sense at all.

I can't believe how expensive cheese is in Aruba in the supermarket. Also in NYC the prices are sky rocket high so unbelievable

There are so many onions in the world did you know, checkout this selection

In Aruba there is a supermarket with ridiculous prices, while all good are cheap shit from the Netherlands, the supermarket looks great and everyone is going there because it's like a status symbol to shop there

In the old days there were many fruit and veggie boats that would come from Venezuela to aruba to sell their products. It's gone now but they still get the products
