You need a magnifying glass to buy veggies at the supermarket.

The last time I bought groceries, Anita helped me put away some of them. So I had´d seen the eggplant the shopper had brought. It was TINY!!!
I remembered that last time I went to a shop with Dixie. They had veggies and bread and she wanted to buy some bread. I asked the boy if they had eggplants and he excused himself saying that he thought that they only had one left.
I told him to bring it.
And he brought a giant yet tender eggplant.
I bought it. If I hadn´t been so lazy, I would have made a moussaka with that eggplant. As it was, I cut it in hald and had it breaded it . They were enough for 2 lunches.
The eggplants at the supermarket are so tiny that I am hungry after eating a whole one. And they are a lot more expensive.
How is it where you live?

I saw the difference when I went with Dixie to a real market.

It depends on the season here. Its coming the time of year here where most fresh produce is shipped in.

@marguicha I try to preserve what I can during the summer. But some things like bananas I buy as I go. They don't grow in my area

It’s been awhile since I’ve shopped in person so I don’t really know what all the fruits and veggies look like in person. Of course, I saw an onion my stepmom was slicing the other day, and it was huge. But she gets her groceries at a different store than I do.

There are farmers markets everywhere here. The produce is much better than the veggies at the supermarket.

The veggies are fine, but I don't know for the coming months because of the Typhoon many farm are affected again.

I hope it doesn´t affect them too much. Usually that also means that prices will go up.

@marguicha It did, we just went to the market this morning, and there are few deliveries of meat and other seafood, because of the typhoon, our road ways need fixing, that' why other provinces was not able to deliver the usual meat deliveries today.

I wanted to eat asparagus some time ago and they were very expensive so I didn´t buy them. But I did notice that they came from Peru. But last week there were asparagus on sale if you bought more and they were Chilean.

@marguicha It works well for me. My husband's 3rd cousin (our housekeeper) picks them up and puts them away for me.

Supermarkets here do not have the best veggies.

In my country, unless you live in the far south, crayfish are too expensive. I only bought them once, when I had to make a very special meal to return a big favour.

The sizes of the vegetables vary. At times, they offer small ones, while other times, you will find larger options.

i always thought there are like two sorts of eggplants and ones are big and the other are big.
big ones are better and easier to prepare. i like them breaded too, but i make more slices, not just halves
