We have been to the very modern Fish Market in Barka. Outside are still the traditional fruit and veg sellers along the street.
The building of the fish market is just 4 years old and very clean and pleasant smelling inside. But since I can't cook here, I took a couple of photos and watched an fish auction, I went outside then.
99 % of the fruits and veggies were common to me. Then a plate of small red fruits caught my eye. Was this a spice or an edible fruit, no idea!
I asked the shopkeeper, but not arabic speaking problems prevented any kind of conversation. But he gave me a piece and took one himself. He ripped off a leaf and told me with hand guestures to do the same. The middle piece had to be discarded.
The leafs are a bit sour, but nice. But the taste did not bring the answer to the question about that the heck that was. I asked our tourguide.
He looked a bit strange since I was eating the red leafs. The dried version of the leaves are a great tea: Mallow Tea
I bought some dried tea at the Souk in Nizwa.
Later I had arabic cardamom coffee and dates dipped in Tahin at a castle. These combination was very tasty.
