At the Montmartre Market: This exquisite head of lettuce was displayed on the vendor's table like the prize that it was, an edible work of art. Our daughter, Blair, was visiting from San Francisco, and she and I oohed and ahed over the celadon green and blood red spattered leaves. But when the vendor told us the price for a handful of Bio greens and two violet artichokes--35 Euros--we left them on his stand! He wasn't happy and neither were we.
Can you imagine it on a plate?
