To Market we Will Go!

Mike and I went to church on Sunday and wandered around looking for a restaurant afterwards.  We stumbled on this large market called Ya  Show (rhymes with how).  Stall after stall of all sorts of food stuffs, mostly fresh veggies, fruit, seafood and fresh fish and meat.  This is just a few of the pictures.  If I knew how to do a slide show I would.  I will post another blog with more.



Ya Show Market Beijing...seafood



 A close up of the seafood.  That is a pile of squid  the pink just to the left of the post.


This is fresh food, you can choose your fish or turtle or what ever you wish to eat.  They do not recommend you eat river fish due to the pollution.  So, if you don't know your fish.....don't buy it.  


This woman is selling all different types of dried beans.  I think to get out of her booth she has to crawl under the rack on the left of her stall.

 Those are big baskets of eggs, you buy them by the pound.
Mushrooms, so many types and I haven't a clue!!!
Corn....Isn't it pretty?
Tofu, I don't know if any of it is the famous 'stinky tofu' No English spoken here!  They seem to have more than the soft, medium, firm you can get in the states.
 Itty, bitty cucumbers with the flowers still on them.  I have not run across these in any places we have eaten so I do not know what to do with them.
Duck, Quail, Chicken.

Dried mushrooms as opposed to the fresh above.
A little bit of everything from the same shop as above.

  1. How can they display eggs like that? Don't they break? It's the packaging, or lack thereof, that bothers me. Just sayin'

    1. The shell is the packaging....someone, somewhere back in time decided they needed boxes. God has good ideas, man always feels he has to improve on them. It saves on waste, eggshells are natural, boxes, not so much:)
