Unusual veggies are always fun. It’s fun buying them and growing them, but even browsing seed catalogues of them is entertaining. My latest interesting veggie purchase was baby tomatoes about the size of almonds. So cute! Market stalls with cute tomatoes and coloured potatoes always seem to draw the biggest crowds, second only to free samples.
I sauteed the baby tomatoes with asparagus and ate them with pasta and fetta cheese, which is a lovely quick spring meal. These tomatoes came from a stall at the Entertainment Quarter Market. I hope you’re enjoying visiting spring fairs too!

I’d buy anything that’s cute, including tomatoes! Those are pretty adorable, how sweet are they?

these vine tomatos seem to display their flavour just by looking at them – there rally is nothing like real tomato taste from a fresh tom!

Oh they’re so petite! My husband brought home some cherry tomatoes that he found growing out in the wild. They were absolutely perfect and probably the nicest cherry tomatoes I’ve ever had and they looked quite similar to these
