Sunil, the sabji-wala who is great friends with Mom. Buying and selling vegetables forms a very small part of their daily interface. He imparts local gossip, she advises him on everything under the sun.

Just look at those luscious vegetables!

Mother's purchases of the day.

In the small town in central India where my parents live very few people buy vegetables from supermarkets. A vegetable seller goes from door to door every morning. You buy only as much stuff as you need for the day. The veggies are cheap and really fresh as they're grown in small farms just on the outskirts of the town.

JenPat Bliss. I would love to get my veggies so fresh, especially on a daily basis.

Fandy1 Amazing - dude I would pay whatever they wanted if someone would just bring the food to me.

Quailia Fantastic - this also happens in MrQ's village in Italy - only it's a truck rather than a bicycle which is fair enough given that every village is perched on top of a steep hill.

Tulpje Now that is beautiful! I wish less people would buy veggies from the supermarkets.

rezinka If Sunil lived any closer, I´d appoint him my Supreme Supplier. The veggies look truly luscious.

Oweena I don't think you can get any fresher unless you grow it yourself.
Does he grow all the veggies he sells?

SoulCurry No. He buys them off someone at dawn and then wheels his cart into town. Finishes by noon and is off for his second job as a watchman in a factory.
