So for all the ladies following us. I will say South Africa is fabulous for fresh veg and herbs. For all the great markets here in Spain, you will have to get your bearings right in a foreign country. No Food Lovers here or anything close. Everything you CAN get is very fresh, big and beautiful. Big, as in peaches the size of tennis balls. I could go on how lovely it all is. BUT you will have to rethink all your favourite recipes. Ingredients are rare for all sorts of old favourites. I especially miss finding an Indian stall at a flea market with big buckets of spices where a man will fill a kilogram bag with a special blend that will make your curry night parties memorable forever. Spices and herbs are all dried here. So as much as I love it, being (a limited) foodie, I do miss Food Lovers Market (for now). I will have lists for every one of you who come to visit. Don't worry about the wine that's good. You won't need to add that to your weight. SA wines of course are the best in the world but we can adapt. (Of course we can, we are South African) so spices are on the contraband list.
