Pomodoro


We've left the Old Town of Ventimiglia and are now at the main market.

It's time to buy your tomato plants and look how helpful it is when the vendor places a ripe tomato amongst the young plants - at least then you won't get a surprise. The purple one is an aubergine, of course - eggplant across the pond.

Nous avons quitté la vieille ville de Vintimille et nous nous trouvons maintenant aux halles du marché.

Il est temps d'acheter vos plants de tomates et vous apprécierez la bonne idée du vendeur qui a pendu une tomate mûre correspondant à chaque jeune plant - ainsi, vous n'aurez pas de surprise à la récolte. Le fruit violet est une aubergine bien sûr -'eggplant' aux Etats Unis.
