Fruit and flies

Fruit and flies For Rasa and I, there is always something about going shopping in a new market, be it a mall in suburbia or dirt patch in Mali.  The markets in Cameroon proved to be no less entertaining for us. These had to have been some of the largest cassavas we have ever seen.  They are great fried up in butter with a little salt. I challenge you to find tubers that look this good.  The funny thing was we never stopped to buy a mountain of tubers because it was always more than we could eat. Again with the donut balls, they are our favorite food after all.  They knew they had an easy sale when they saw Rasa running towards them. Some citrus, pineapples, bananas, and just to the left something they call purple plums, which taste nothing like a plum. I liked the lettuce lady because she just scowled at me when I tried to get her to smile for the picture. This was our butcher.  Here you can see him chopping us up a side of goat for our stew recipe. And if you were wondering what all those little black spots were, here is a closer look.  I will leave out David's description of how this meat gets seasoned over time. We did make our goat stew in Zinder and it was delicious.  Our next entry will be about where and how all this food is gathered.
