We stopped by the fishmonger. Mary found out early in the "discussion" that none of the men spoke English (a first in our experiences here in Denmark). But, not to be dissuade, Mary used the universal language. She pointed to what she wanted, a large fillet of fresh Salmon. The gentleman picked it up, and slid the knife down the the fish until Mary gave him the thumbs up "I want that much Salmon". He wrapped it, we handed them money, they handed us change, and we left happy. Mary fixed the Salmon that night. Superb!
We stopped at one of the vegetable stands, looking at a bin full of, what looked like broccoli. As we were trying trying to figure out what it was, a man, who must have heard us talking, began to explain to us what the vegetable was (borecole) and it is a member of the Kale family. He spent the next five minutes describing to us how to make a perfect salad. Wash the borecole and break the leaves off of the stalk. Mix slices of orange and melted honey and toss. He was very nice and told us he hoped to see us next Saturday as he and his family shopped there every weekend. I will get his name next week.
We had to try it so we bought the ingredients. WOW. The guy was right, it was very good.
Heading home, we stopped at the local flower shop, two doors down from our place and Mary bought some primroses for the windows. Don't they look nice!

Does the borecole taste like broccoli?
ReplyDeleteHi Kay! The borecole is like Kale. Raw in a salad, it's like lettuce, with a rougher texture. It is very good.
