Paradise found -- Open all hours .





My post yesterday entitled 'Another Day in Paradise' was not just because of the furs and the weather .
Paradise,we are told,had a wonderful garden,full of plenty.
Well for me the world is still a paradise and yes we do have an abundance of amazing foods . (Sadly it is not as evenly distributed as it should be.) Lovers of fast food and chemically enhanced produce may learn something here or simply quit reading.
The pictures above show a sensational fruit and vegetable shop within S Bahn Station Lichterfelde Ost .
Open 24 hours a day , seven days a week (most unusual in Berlin ) it is owned by a Turkish gentleman and is a work of art . The variety of nuts is overwhelming , tropical fruits likewise and all I could do was to keep on buying . I bought parsnips to roast , some honey with thyme , spiced nuts ,tropical tomatoes and so much more.
The bouquets of vegetables make a present with a difference . There were also baskets of dates , figs and dried fruits .The list of goods on offer seems endless.
In Autumn and Winter nothing is as welcome and tasty as a home made soup and I can honestly say mine take some beating . The ingredients here are class A .I shall be returning .
