Corner view "Staple Food" Potsdam-Berlin

So, here we go again with another Corner View post. This week it´s about staple food.
I should write about potatoes, bratwurst, rye-wheat bread and beer! But instead I choose to show you my favorite food at the moment.

It´s fruit and then especially the summerfruit. All sorts of berries and cherries.
In Holland that kind of fruit is so expensive that I almost never bought it. Here it is common to grow your own berries and people sell it in front of their house. Just a little table with their homegrown fruit and vegetables and sometimes flowers and homemade marmelade.


Early this morning I went to the farmers market to buy some fruit. It is located in front of the Nauener Tor (Nauener Gate) which was build in 1754.

This is what I eat during the day. In the morning with yoghurt and musli and as a snack during the rest of the day. I just can´t get enough of it.

Thank you for all the sweet comments on my last post. My father is 77 and this was his first trip abroad! He loved it! Just too bad I didn´t have a camera. But he promised to come back.



If you want to have a great trip around the world and watch the other Corner Views, look under Corner View in my sidebar! Be sure to visit Jane of Spain Daily, she´s the one who started this all!

  4. No bratwurst for me!
    nee, breng het fruit maar binnen!
    We zijn de tuin aan het verbouwen en de fruitbomen en struiken zullen eigen oogst brengen, hoop ik!

  8. We had a very similar add for pasta here, too, but I don't think ours had the little girl calling to him at the end. I like that touch, it makes it funnier.
    The berries look very good!

  14. Fruit is altijd al lekker, maar als je het zo ziet krijg je nog meer trek. Ik zit in de betuwe altijd tussen het fruit, en koop het dan bij de plaatselijke boeren. Dat scheelt enorm.

  15. This is my diet this time of year too. Cherries and strawberries (and later raspberries and blueberries) there's nothing like it.

  16. Hoorah, you're back! Yum, I agree re summer fruit. It's so much easier to get fruit in to my children in the summer. Strawberries are my favourite.x

  24. Meid,wat een hoop blogjes moest ik van jou bijlezen terwijl ik maar 13 dagen weg was!!!!
    En jij maar schrijven dat je niet bloggen kon omdat je geen camara had of dat je vader kwam of.... en ondertussen!!
    Maar ik ben weer bijgelezen en vind je schrijfstijl zo grappig!
    En wat leuk dat jullie een nieuw klein poesje krijgen.
    Zou ik ook wel eens willen maar ik denk dat die 2 neuroten van katten bij ons spontaan een rolberoerte krijgen als er zo'n klein speels ding naar binnen huppelt.

    Nou fijn weekeind.
    Groetjes,
    Gonda

  27. Oh, this looks delicious! My mom's got some of these berry sorts in her garden - she makes delicious limonade to last the household for the whole winter.
    How nice that your father visited you - especially if he'd never been abroad before. Good for him =)
    Have a great weekend Jeannette!
