You have nailed almost everything 👏 . To the bottom right are a few sweet potatoes. The bottom middle has unripe tomatoes. These are at times sold to ripen later on. Locals do prefer buying most commodities ripe.
That is so true. There is a surreal feel of knowing where your money is going. I love buying at the market here in Malawi than in these slightly more formal shops. The till attendants do greet but yeah they lack the enthusiasm of a vendor selling their merchandise.
Wow! I love how thorough you are.
