This is how you buy celery in Paris

[BankFodder]

In Paris they sell celery by weight. Not by the stick/bunch but by kilo.

 

So what this means is that when people go to their supermarket, they break the ribbon holding the celery together, take out the nice succulent heart of the celery – you know, the bit that we all want and then take that to the till. The supermarket cashier simply weighs it and charges for the amount that has been taken.

 

If you come along later on in the day, then all you have left is the big ugly green bits and the worms.

 

This is how Parisians do it.

 

Don't you wish you had one for a neighbour?

I guess they are the ones responsible for prodding tomatoes so there are only the squishy ones left !
