Another street/shop view in Kaikohe - this time it's a corner shop that sells vegetables. This one has signs selling Kumara for in $3 packs and Kamokamo in $20 packs. If you are unfamiliar with Southern Hemishere vegetables I'll do my best to explain what these 2 are.
Kamokamo is kind of like a type of Squash or Butternut, it is like a pumpkin - it's very yummy whatever way it's cooked, I like to add it to either Winter soups or a Roast Pork/Chicken dinner. Kumara is like a type of sweet Potato and is used in much the same way but it was bought here over 1000 years ago by early Maori settlers from the Pacific Islands.
Worth trying if you can.
Linking up with Timeless Thursdays, Skywatch Friday, The Weekend Roundup and Weekend Reflections.

The building looks quite retro.
There were two pineapples at the store, two. Tiny.
This is how former GDR must´ve been like - you buy what you can get but you cannot "want"... Enjoy yours.
I am curious about the shape of Kamokami and kumara fruits, I will look for pictures of the two fruits.
Have a nice week.
