Tomatos big enough to eat me

It is no wonder that tomato is called "the golden apple" (pomodoro) in Italian. The watery tasteless small things we call tomatoes in Denmark has nothing to do with these juicy explosions of taste that you can buy down here. A common day at the market is a fantastic trip around in what feel like a trip in a very exclusive shop of specialties, except for the beggars and the garlic guy, who always shows up when you least expect him, with a great smile and small plastic bags with garlic for only one euro. And this is garlic, if anybody (in dk) ever complained garlic was strong, they should have a taste of these suckers, they are smelly and taste great :-). Or spring onions that actually curve at the bottom, like onions... The pepperoni which is not salami, but in fact what we call red peppers (or green or yellow..) the size of toy firetrucks.

Not description of the market without mentioning all the funny people that wants to sell you strange things, from toilet paper, black olives, fresh fish to herbs to go to the toilet and jewelry. Remember to say "e lo sconto?".
