RE: Leiden Market: More Affordable Than Volendam 🦑

in Market Fridaylast year

You scored on the seafood this day. Calamari is my absolute favorite! Most times I have it dipped in a marinara sauce. That is the Italian style. I never did well in the markets with the clothing. I mostly had my mom ship clothes over for me. :)

I like all seafood, but some more than others. It looks like you might have oysters. Hard to tell. I love fried clams and mussels dipped in butter. Yummy! You showed off a fun day!

Are you living there or visiting? I like their cutting boards or charcuterie boards. How nice! Thank you for taking us along!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
