I’ve been told that the vegetable markets are called ‘wet markets’ because they hose down the produce in lieu of refrigeration. This is my favorite vegetable market a few blocks from our home. There are many unrecognizable veggies, and everything is fresh and delicious, very flavorful. The veggie lady tries to teach me the names of everything. The man across the aisle laughs loudly when I try to repeat the words in Mandarin. Then, my veggie lady will pantomime the preparation and cooking method for the vegetable in question. It really gets funny when the other vendors join in with their own pantomimes and try to get me to understand. They must think I am hard of hearing and if they just talk louder, I will get it.
