Dried Yellow Corn, Lucca, Italy Meat Market, Mellow Yellow Monday, July 5, 2010
I'm participating in Mellow Yellow Monday - join in the fun!
Musings and meanderings, poetic and otherwise, photography, travels, recipes, whatever comes my way that seems interesting to my gray matter!
Dried yellow corn looks so beautiful and it makes for a wonderful decoration of the meat shop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!

Italians are special. They make food into art. Love the photo. That man obviously loves what he does!
ReplyDeleteWe love corn! Are those dried ones!
ReplyDeletePlease come and see my Father & Son for MYM.
nice interesting shop
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful picture! And you're makin' me hungry!
ReplyDeleteHow very interesting Carmen, and I like the angle in your photo. It shows a bit of everything in the market.
ReplyDeleteHow long does the butcher keep them up there? I decided I will have some pop corn. Can you drop down to you butcher and get me some. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou Ok 100%?
This is the kind of place I miss. We don't have meat markets around here anymore. The last one I saw was only a few blocks from my house. The food from there is so much better than from a big chain grocery store.
ReplyDeletebeautiful take on the theme!

I just loved Lucca - not nearly as hectic as Florence but full of nice little shops and it had lots of wonderful squares.

I was lucky enough to visit Lucca, Italy two consecutive years on my Mediterranean cruise. My friends and I stopped in Pisa in the mornings, then went to Lucca for lunch in the afternoon. It is such a charming Tuscan city.

I spent my last two birthdays in Italy - in Rome for my birthday and a couple of days before, then did Mediterranean cruises. Lucca was one of my favorite spots - if my job hadn't ended, I had hoped to go back someday and spend a week.

Jo, you would really like Lucca, such a charming town, not nearly as big and bustling as Florence but a one of those places you want to linger for a few days. Friendly people, so much history, beautiful countryside.

I didn't take nearly enough pictures in Lucca. The whole place is so scenic and beautiful.

Unfortunately, by the time we finished lunch, most of the shops in Lucca were closed for siesta. I wanted to take so many more photos!

I'll tell you, Italy was such a wonderful place for eating. I gained at least ten pounds during that two weeks!

I've spent my last two birthdays in Italy - starting out in Rome for a few days, then on to do Mediterranean cruises, ending with a few days in Barcelona. I love Italy - still have so much of it I haven't seen but, sadly, the job loss means I won't be able to do that.

Yes, that's dried corn hanging from the ceiling of the shop in Lucca. I'm a corn lover, too - like it grilled with all kinds of spices!

ReplyDeleteIt was that bright yellow corn that first drew me into that Lucca meat shop!

I was on a cruise ship so I wasn't in the market to buy meat but I was drawn in because it was so charming.

I had just eaten lunch or I would have been tempted by some of the sandwiches the shop offered.

Jo, you would love Lucca. I was there both last year and the year before and I found it so charming. Less hustle and bustle than Florence but some of the same good shopping for less expensive prices.

It was siesta time so many of the shops were closed. Otherwise, we would have spent a lot more money!
