My teacher wanted to take me on a field trip to a local market. I admit, I wasn't too keen on the exercised because I have been shopping in this country for months now and thought I knew what there was to know. Wrong again. My teacher approached a customer and asked the difference between two types of papayas. The customer explained and shared how to make a good shake out of one of the papaya types. My teacher then asked a lady what some green leafy was. She was happy to tell us and threw in a recipe for frying it up with garlic and a little onion. Charming. The people at the markets are kind of like like Trader Joes' cashiers with their helpful tips, recipe ideas and overall enthusiasm about produce. This I did not know.
