A Lada Boot Full Of Yambol Homegrown Vegetables

A Lada boot full of homegrown vegetables is not a common sight in Yambol. Most carry their daily produce by hand, as the growing areas are close if not next to their homes. This instance however, the vegetables needed to be transported from some factory grounds where they were grown to home some 3 kilometres away to be barbequed and stored in the freezer for winter food. Notice the gas system in the Lada, half the price of petrol costs.

(Can you guess who's Lada and produce it is?)

Sweetcorn For Sale In Yambol City Centre

There is nothing like the taste of freshly cooked locally produced sweetcorn. This is a sure sign of summer in full swing Yambol as the sellers are out in force. They are very popular and good to see children being bought some to eat as a snack rather than the fast food crap they are being forced to eat in other non Bulgarian food places. However, this freedom to sell simple good food on the streets might be stopped in the future as EU directives are being processed right now on health and safety. This make me mad to think they can do this yet let crap fast food through!

Yambol's Sara Supermarket - The First

We visited Yambol's Sara supermarket today for a change. It is the first big supermarket that was built there. It is more expensive than the other big supermarkets in Yambol now, so its popularity isn't as great as it used to be. At least there are no crowds when we go there, we only bought our daily bread and a beer there anyway before we went home.
