  1. I kept thinking that the food market at the beginning with all the ethnicities reminded me so much of the West Side Market in Cleveland, Ohio USA.  I was born in Cleveland in '57 to a working poor family, and our rare trips to this faraway market (we had become East Siders) was a thrill.  If we'd saved the pennies, we could get a Sacher torte!  Pierogies!  Free range meats!  Kirby cucumbers for making our own pickles!  Goat milk!  But the city, the country, was sliding ... I left Ohio totally in '77 and the States in '94.  It had just become untenable.  Good comment ... sad ...

  2. I always check the captions or whatever for help with subtitling or explanations.  A lot of people put them there, you just have to try.

  3. Once a culture or civilization gets into food big time, you know they're in some form of death throes/collapse/decay.  When people use buzzwords such as "hipster," you're sure of it; however, food markets with stalls for "little vendors" are as old as the hills, and where I live outside of Paris, we kind of stay stuck because our market is one of the largest in Europe and dates back to the Dark Ages.  And yes, I think they pretty much are.

  8. Germanmusicnerd89 Eh, I lectured history here in Europe after leaving the USA.  It really is a sure sign of the last days of an empire, et c.  Really.  I hear you.  I was a chef's assistant in Paris on a half-year contract and found it fascinating, have written two cooking columns, cooked for pay in the USA, such as it was, once as a live-in servant, and even still do sloppy, unedited cooking and market haul, sometimes even restaurant clips on my two channels here and Dailymotion.  I love Europe's food culture, and the fact that so many French still don't even have refrigerators doesn't surprise me.  Often, if they do have them, they hide them behind cabinets!  They'd rather use a garde-manger, maybe have a small freezer, wrap, store and cure things themselves, even in cities, and shop daily for fresh stuff.  It's still the tradition.  It is my understanding from many of my German coworkers and clients here over the years that many German households still have someone there to be the hausfrau whether male or female, things may really close by the end of the day Friday until Monday morning (depends on where you are), so the shopping and errands have to be done during the week, during the day.  Some small places in France still are closed entirely on weekends or only open until noon sharp on Saturdays, then BOOM!  WEEKEND!  Good luck if you want tobacco, alcohol, bread, a DVD, a newspaper, anything, hee hee hee!  I'm half Pennsy Dutch, half Slovenian, so yeah, I get it.  I've been right on the border of Deutschland so many times and worked in Heerlen, The Netherlands.  I love Alsace.  I'd like to at least visit Heidelberg, and I have American friends long-term in Berlin.  xoxo
