I met the nicest woman, Erica, at the Mercato Sant’Ambrogio.   She had these tiny little pears (pear = la pera) and said I could go ahead and have one. She also had some tiny green plums, too (plum = la susina).  I had never seen a green plum before.  She said I could have that, too!

Awesome little mid morning treat!
