Indian Wedgies

VegeTAbles VEGtables Ve Ge Ta Bles but my favourite one is Wedgies not veggies WEDGIES Local street market and supermarket finds are very fresh, very colourful, and if truly local, very very cheap indeed Sir! After buying my first bunch of coriander from a street vendor, I was disappointed to find out that only half was actually coriander.    The other half was carrot tops, tasteless of course, and much finer than the coriander leaves.   So, the next time I needed coriander, I took my body guard, tour guide, travel companion, driver, heavy luggage-carrier, -loser and -chucker, tight bottle caps opener, champagne, wine and whiskey connoisseur, bathroom fixer, kitchen builder, deck maintainer, lavender planter, yo-yo champion, flower lover, sailing seaman, brunch buddy,  best mate, cooking partner, the love of my life, and now...coriander controller, with me. The vendor immediately knew that we meant business. I asked for dhania. He gave me a big bunch.
