Title: [Theme] Show us your "Old World Market" shots
Post by: Anirban Halder on October 27, 2015, 16:25:56: What are Old World Markets? IMO -
a. Typically people sell locally produced vegetables, meat & fish, bread, honey, spices, oils etc etc. No fancy packaging.
b. No chiller, refrigerator or cold storage (mostly). Neither you get any frozen stuff. Sometime even butter, cottage cheese etc are sold without freezing them.
c. Many vendors sell one particular category of vegetables or meat or grains. Even fish vendors sell few types of fishes each of them.
d. Some shops don't even have any electronic weighing machine.
e. Typically they don't accept credit cards. Cash only.
f. They are loud! (in my country at least…)

I shot the below pictures in a town 50km south from Calcutta. There were plenty photo opportunities. It was an overly crowded market as it was a major hub for 30km radius. People were literally pushing each other during rush hour (morning 6am to 10am). They don’t see people taking pictures often - I got questioned a LOT. I wish I had taken more pictures, only if I had nerves. Someday I will go back again.

So, let's start with a rice seller.

Post by: Anirban Halder on October 27, 2015, 16:32:40: This gentleman sells only potato, onions and garlic. And that's the weighing machine I'm talking about!!

Post by: armando_m on October 27, 2015, 18:50:56: I go to a market every so often and I have considered bringing a camera along, but has not happen

I used to go to markets when i was a kid where the weight was measured as you show in your images,
currently everyone seems to have an electronic scale

in the mean time, here is the Borough market in London , crowded, but way to nice in comparison to my local market
1. the fish seller takes Amex, but uses low tech to keep the flies away

2. "not touch the cheese"

Post by: afx on October 27, 2015, 23:29:41: In recent years I have been to the west side of Lago di Garda every fall.
There are several markets that I love to visit, the largest being in Saló.

Here are a few impressions:

I love the cheese:
(http://images.afximages.com/Travel/Lago-di-Garda/i-LVDLBq9/0/L/LagoDiGarda-2010-06-26-019-wm-L.jpg) (http://images.afximages.com/Travel/Lago-di-Garda/i-LVDLBq9/0/O/LagoDiGarda-2010-06-26-019-wm-O.jpg)

And the salamis:

They sell truffles:

Or cherries:

Porcini and dried tomatoes:
(http://images.afximages.com/Travel/Lago-di-Garda/i-xng36Xv/0/L/LagoDiGarda-2012-10-11-076-wm-L.jpg) (http://images.afximages.com/Travel/Lago-di-Garda/i-xng36Xv/0/O/LagoDiGarda-2012-10-11-076-wm-O.jpg)

At then end of the trip I usually come home with several kilos of cheese and Salami.

cheers

Post by: Anirban Halder on October 28, 2015, 05:11:35: You photos are beautiful as usual, Armando. However, the second photo doesn't look like "Old World" to me - it has nicely printed labels, price tags, signs, uniform aprons with logo.. Or may be it's just me feels that way.
On a separate note, I feel a camera like Ricoh GR will be so convenient to carry on such trips to market.

Andreas - when I was starting this thread I in-fact had Italy in my mind (Sicily in particular). Beautiful photos, truly shows some life there.

Now here's a vegetable seller:

Post by: Anirban Halder on October 28, 2015, 05:24:10: Fish Market: In this state (West Bengal) fishes are cut & cleaned in a very particular manner using typical carved knife, attached to a heavy wooden base. And, no credit cards, of-course.

Thanks Elsa. The way meat is stacked in your photos, immediately tells it's not a modern grocery store. Very nice clean shots, I like all of them. The stacked pigs(?) feet photo is cool!

Gary - the lemon's shot - it looks like a picture taken inside a vain and they are red blood corpuscles. Amazing photos!

Anirban, you can't expect markets throughout the world to perfectly match your expectations.
The world is wide and varied, and it should be obvious that a "old world" market in Europe or North America will look decidedly different to an Indian one.
For example almost all traditional market stalls here take debit and credit card payments - if they don't the customers will go to another seller!
In addition, no matter how traditional, markets have to adhere to local legislation, and we have a lot of it here in Europe.

Simone - I absolutely don't expect that. From my share of travel and living in Europe and North America I totally understand that. At the same time, I didn’t mean to start a thread of "photos of any random market". My intention was to share photos of the one's truly traditional and they exist everywhere. That's all I was trying to convey.

Post by: Akira on October 28, 2015, 15:24:18: Wow, this is yet another intriguing thread! The market is a good place for the hands-on experiences with the culture of the country or the particular area.

I unfortunately don't have photo of the entire Bakery itself. Some of you must have been to this place. It comes on the way to Perrisa/Kamari beach.

Ahh, is that the Jodhpur sugar cane wallah Tom?

I love the Dusk-time light you've captured.
It reminded me of an evening in Pachmarhi UP
Yes, that is a sugar cane "wallah". :)
Cool atmospheric shot Collin. These shops are there almost everywhere in India. Yes, they are old world. :)

Last few weeks I've been travelling across continents and had an opportunity to visit an Old World market. 108°F/40°C - 90% humidity, rains but no less crowd.
This gentleman selling raw banana and banana stem. These are different kinds of banana and only consumed when they are raw/green.

Not the sort of old world market you meant, but never the less a market, the smell of the fruit was lovely!

Thanks Mike. Banana stem has crisp texture and a mild sweet flavor. They are delicious when cooked with indian spices. Sometime they are even cooked with tiny prawns/shrimp.

Your market is certainly Old World like - like one of those "Farmer's Market" in US. I can almost smell the fruits; very nice angle, colours.

John those are cattle cow heads. Nothing goes to waste, even the guts out of the bigger fish are sold.

Post by: ColinM on July 24, 2016, 21:51:05: To everyone's who's posted here, thank you.

So great to see real food: fresh looking vegetables, fruit, meat & fish
Not plastic wrapped in some supermarket chilled counter.

Whilst there is a place for all types of traders, long may markets like the ones you've all shown here continue to exist.

Nice shots benveniste! Interesting how the stem/body is left attached to the carrots and onions.

Colin - I totally echo your sentiments. Cheers!

No artificial colors added!
