From Where ???

 Local summer fruit is just appearing in our markets.  Meantime our local grocer has an abundance of fruit from all the world

Grapes from Egypt

Expensive at 6.20 a kilo. They're out of season here

Expensive lemons from Egypt

At least they're not from Turkey

Our own lemons this year haven't done well at all

I bought 2 lemons, pieces, not kilos, as a stop gap

Apples from Italy

The variety is kikou

I don't buy these because

Apples from.. 

 Poland are the cheapest and full of flavour

Variety Jona..... Maybe Jonathan in English

Pineapple from Costa Rica 

Not a bad price for a genuine exotic fruit

Pears from Chile

Variety Packham

I didn't get the price but I wouldn't buy them anyway. Next to them was a case of perfectly good Greek pears

The best potatoes are from either Cyprus or Egypt and the price is right

Greek apricots are now in season for 2.50 a kilo

Nectarines are just appearing as are

 melons and watermelons

Grapes and figs are in season late July and August

Summer fruit is greek

Tomato prices have come down from 4 euros to 2.50

Zucchini and aubergines are now a reasonable price.  Our garden is producing these as well.

 

I'm cooking stuffed tomatoes and peppers, Briam (Greek ratatouille), Imam (aubergines with tomatoes and onions), fried zucchini and moussaka
