On a recent day out we came across this in Exo Potami a small traditional
village east of the Lassithi Plain here on Crete. There were only two taverns, as well as a roadside market withtwo old ladies selling
walnuts, honey and raki.
Never seen it before, and it was only when we got closer to the bigger of the two establishments we saw that they were in fact tomato clusters. Also on display about 15 large pumpkins, assorted squashes and potatoes. Not to buy but as decoration said the women inside, where in fact there was a huge range of fruit and vegetables.
However when she realised we were also part of the group on a day excursion she actu8ally turned around, handed us the butternut squash we were holding and said it was a present. It make some excellent soup.
