Outdoor Market in Rethymno

olives, olives, and grape leaves

dried favas, olives, eggs, cheese

snails!

some of the most beautiful squash blossoms I've ever seen

green and black figs

LOOK at those colors! fripping gorgeous

the old cretan lady that tried to converse with us in greek

prickly pear! it is literally all over Crete. they surprisingly only eat the fruit and not the cactus leaves

peeled prickly pear

some sheep's milk cheese

kzynohodros! the fermented milk and grain product we were researching 

cheery tomatoes and beans

mini pears!

the wild greens that grow all over the island. though they are actually weeds, the Cretans have harvested them for millenia. these are the cooked down greens that grace my favorite green pies!
