Xmas Grocery Shopping at Borough Market (Xmas in London IV)

Market halls and marketplaces are one of the best places to touch another culture. Today I was doing some Xmas groceries shopping at the Borough Market nearby the south bank of the London bridge.

I bought all the necessary stuff from there. Veggies were fresh - though even most of the Finns would be schocked over the price, and we also found the finest parts of the Angus beef, sweetcakes for the desert & some wine.

The place was definetly worth visiting and since we have the kitchen in our apartment we got even more out of the visit.

Borough market. Just three stations away from us and over London Bridge.

Fish sortiment is a bit different over here.

There were plenty of shoppers on Xmas eve. Market is situated under an train bridge.

Plenty of pork and poultry, but we managed to find some beef and game as well.

A bit more exotic part of a pig.

Mushroom desk was impressive and plenty of different sorts. But I would have left those chantarelles to the woods.

Some veggies were expensive, very expensive.

Plenty of folk on Xmas eve.

100% rye bread baked on dour dough! Big 35 cm radius bread for £8, half for £4.

We Finns can be very proud of our monopole. We get quality wine for much cheaper price.

Chestnuts roasting on...

But £1:60 for a French apple (a piece also!). That blew my mind out. No wonder Brits do not go for the fresh veggies.

We paid £23 for the veggies, £50 for Angus file (1 kg)& inner steak (1kg), £22 for wine, £17 for cakes.

Slavery was abolished in USA in 1865, in Finland it was done in the 1950's

In 2010 Finland's National Brand Committee lead by former Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila presented its paper to a former Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb. The committee stated proudly that Finland was the forerunner of democracy since Finnish women became the first in the world to have unrestricted rights both to vote and to stand for parliament. But something was left out from the report. Something which was part of the Finnish Social Policy in many decades of the 20th Century. In many countries this would be called slavery. And this is something which is quieted story of the Finnish history. A modern time slavery. Finnish historician Jouko Halmekoski writes about the modern slave market which was the fact in Finland as late as in the 1950's. He interviewed 25 persons who had been auctioned away by the local government in order to save money in sustaining the children. The lowest bidders won the custody of the child for one years period. Ironically the auction was held in the 29

Today's Rudolf Koivu would be a Game Designer

Rudolf Koivu (1890 - 1946) is one of the illustrators which has affected me most. Even if Finland's most known illustrator died already in 1946 there is no one which has escaped Koivu's sensuous lines, magical creatures from childrens' stories and Christmas cards. I claim, Koivu is for Finns the same than Carl Larsson for Swedes or Mucha for Czechs. Or perhaps even more than that. Last summer I visited an exhibition full of Koivus drawings to different Childrens' stories. It blew my mind out. Pictures to the stories by Grimm, Topelius, Andersen were all presented. Thinking of the fact that the world was not full of images Koivu's characters, trolls, sceneries and mystical creatures were amazingly original ones. Unlike today's illustrator who has grown in a world full of images, Koivu had to bring these creatures from his mind. That is a thing which often has been neglegted. My first memories of Koivu, though I did not know that by then, were the sensuous cov

Kasvien keruu ja herbaario - prässäämisohjeet

1970-luvun peruskoulu-uudistus unohti kasvion! Kuulun siihen peruskoulusukupolveen, jonka ei tarvinnut kerätä kesälomansa aikana herbaariota eli kasvikokoelmaa. Se oli sääli, sillä pläräsin useasti veljeni keräämää upeaa 50 kasvin kokoelmaa. Selasin usein sen sivuja ihastellen kauniisti kuivattuja ja prässättyjä kasveja. Olisin halunnut koota sellaisen itsekin. Se jäi, kunnes vihdoin tänä kesänä pääsin kannustamaan poikaani hänen kasvinkeruuretkillään. Sain seuratakin häntä ja hänen serkkujaan metsien siimekseen ja peltojen pientareille. Hienointa oli, että hänen opettajansa jopa kannusti vanhempia ja isovanhempia sekä lapsia liikkumaan yhdessä luonnosta nauttien - kunhan lapsi valitsisi poimittavat kasvit. Matka aurinkoisella soratiellä kohti luontoa ja kerättäviä kasveja. Kasvienprässääminen palasi takaisin Jossain vaiheessa kasvien kerääminen palasi peruskoulun opetussuunnitelmaan. Vapaaehtoinen, mutta numeroon positiivisesti vaikuttava, kasvikokoelma kerätään yleis
