WEEK 11 – Batesville Kroger, Set III
(cont.) …but before we go and do that, here’s one more shot from the rear actionway to close us out for today. Here we’re looking at two of those side-by-side product images that Kroger liked to place throughout the store in this particular décor package. Again, normally for meat and seafood there’s a comparatively limited amount of wall space, so generally only the two meat product images (also shown in the first upload of today's set) are seen – in fact, I believe this was the first time I had seen the corresponding two seafood product images. Like I said at the start of this album… plenty of unique surprises to be found here at this Batesville Kroger!
I had to switch albums for these final two descriptions: I chose Lit’s “Atomic,” and so far it’s proving to be a pretty good purchase (thankfully!). As I leave y’all to enjoy your Saturday, I’ll continue to enjoy the rest of this album… as well as invite you back, both for more pics from this store in three weeks, and more from Manifest Columbia next time around. Stay tuned!

Being an island, charcoal grilled seafood is one of the favorites on Enoshima. One can find many small diners serving grilled sazae ( turban shell), octopus, oysters and not forgetting the always popular "yakitori" chicken on skewers.
You can find many restaurants along the main shopping street, leading up to some diners as you make your way up hill, and furthest along the top of the hill, some family run eateries.
We have managed to resist the temptations of the pungent aroma of grilled seafood along the way and finally gave in to this small and friendly stall.
Turbo cornutus is enjoyed as a delicacy in Japan, where it is known as "sazae." After cooking, the corkscrew-like animal can be drawn out of its shell using its hard operculum, or hard, rocky lid, to which it is firmly attached. The operculum is not edible, and must be discarded along with the animal's shell after eating.
Since sazae is such a prized delicacy in Japan, and thus commercially important, natural populations are supplemented by artificially reared juveniles. Large numbers of animals are bred and then dumped into the open sea to complete their growth. The result of this is a reduction in the genetic diversity of the animal, which may leave it vulnerable to disease.

WEEK 19 – Kroger, S Perkins
Last up for today is the Meat & Seafood department, directly to the right of produce, and what you're likely to see straight on as you first walk into the store. That is, if your view isn't blocked by everything else in front of it! I don't have it pictured, but this store, basically right behind where I was standing to take this, has a fully functional salad/soup bar. That's something the Hernando Kroger doesn't even have, and it's twice the size of this place – which, I might add, is still on the small side for a Kroger store!!
Next week – more from this awesome “industrial circus”...

Sign of the restaurant "La Marie Antoinette" in the seaside town of Étretat, Normandy, France
Some background information:
"La Marie Antoinette" is a restaurant located in Rue Alphonse Karr in the heart of the Norman seaside town of Étretat. It was founded in 2015 and is specialised in seafood. The restaurant derives its name from Marie Antoinette, the Austrian-born wife of the French King Louis XVI.
The phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" (in English: "Let them eat brioche") has been attributed to Marie Antoinette, although it is uncertain if she ever said it. In the years leading up to the French Revolution, bread was very expensive. The French unprivileged population, bled white by taxes and the greedy French royal court, could hardy effort it and hence, had to starve. On the other hand, brioche is a special kind of bread enriched with lots of butter and eggs. At that time it was considered a luxury form of bread. So if Maria Antoinette should really have said this sentence after having been confronted with the situation of the common people not being able to afford bread, it would definitely have been very cynical.
Regardless of whether Marie Antoinette said the cynical sentence attributed to her or not, it is undisputed that she led a very dissipated life. In the course of the French Revolution from 1789, Marie Antoinette was brought to trial and finally executed by guillotine in 1793. Ascending the scaffold, she followed her husband, who already had been executed more than half a year earlier.
The seaside town of Étretat is located by the English Channel in the Haute-Normandie region in northern France. With its almost 1,300 residents the commune is nestled in the bold cliffs of the coastal area Côte d'Albâtre (in English: "Alabaster Coast"), which is forming almost the entire coastline of the Seine-Maritime department.
The community is best known for its chalk cliffs, including three natural arches and a pointed formation called "L’Aiguille", which rises 70 metres (230 feet) above the sea. The Etretat Chalk Complex consists of a complex stratigraphy of Turonian and Coniacian chalks. Some of the cliffs are as high as 90 metres (300 feet). These cliffs and the associated beaches attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. They were also featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin novel "The Hollow Needle" by Maurice Leblanc and in the 2014 film "Lucy", directed by Luc Besson.
Two of the three famous arches, the Porte d'Aval, and the Porte d'Amont, are visible from the town. The Manneporte, the third and biggest one, cannot be seen from the town. However, it can be seen from the clifftop near Porte d'Aval. Also visible from this clifftop is the lighthouse Phare d’Antifer, standing 38 metres high, which was taken into operation in 1894.
Another sight of the town are the Étretat Gardens (in French: "Les Jardins D'Étretat"), a cliff-top experimental garden with "living sculptures". It surrounds a villa that once belonged to Madame Thébault, an actress from Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. More than a century later, the garden was restored by a team led by the Russian landscape architect Alexander Grivko of the British garden design and landscaping company IL Nature. He was inspired by the flora of the Normandy coast. In 2017, the Étretat Gardens were reopened to the public.
For his work Grivko was awarded the 2019/2020 European Garden Award in the category "Best restoration or development of a historic park or garden". The Étretat Gardens are listed among "Great Gardens of the World" and have also received a star from the Michelin Green Guide.
An old legend says that Étretat was founded following a Viking invasion. But the village is even older. Archaeological excavations prove that the site of Étretat was already populated in Roman times, although its Roman name is unrecorded. However, it is known that the settlement was connected with the nearby Roman town of Iuliobona by a Roman road.
In the presbyterial garden there’s a cemetery from the Merovingian period. The Merovingian dynasty was the ruling family of the Franks from the middle of the 5th century until 751. The excavated finds on this cemetery indicate that it were either Franks or Saxons, who settled there.
In the 10th century, Étretat was controlled by the Dukes of Normandy. But in the 11th century it passed into possession of Fécamp Abbey, a Benedictine monastery, situated in the nearby town of Fécamp today. In the 12th century, hermitages settled in the village’s vicinity, a church was built and some farms were established. However in the 14th century, Étretat evolved into a place of boatyards, building boats for Philippe VI de Valois, King of France between 1328 and 1350.
In the following centures, the settlement dwindled in importance because of the constant Anglo-French rivalry during which the harbour was abandoned. In 1665, the village appeared on the map again, because a garrsion was established there under King Louis XIV. A little fortress had been built at the beach but it was destroyed by a flood just four years later in 1669.
In 1777, Queen Marie Antoinette chose Étretat as the oerfect place to cover the royal court’s huge demand for oysters. For that purpose an oyster farm was built. However, the oysters weren’t cultured completely in the village, but brought there from Cancale. In Étretat they were just finished for some months while being alternately farmed in freshwater and salt water, which was believed that it would enhance the oysters’ flavour. Every year, 100 millions of oysters were treated like that.
After the French Revolution, in the 19th century, Étretat made the transition from a traditional fishing village to a seaside resort. But due to its pebble beach, the community was less popular than Trouville-sur-Mer, Dieppe or Le Havre, which all had sandy beaches. In 1843, the situation changed, after the French author Alphonse Karr had published a successful novel about the little town. Roads to Fécamp and Le Havre were built, a casino opened in 1852 and in 1890, Étretat even got a railway connection.
Many painters like Claude Monet or Gustave Courbet were attracted by Étretat’s picturesque cliffs and created famous paintings showing the scenery. But also authors like Guy de Maupassant enjoyed Étretat and its surroundings. In the following years, mansions were built on a grand scale and the town changed its appearance. After World War I, tourism even increased and mass tourism found its way into the town. But World War II put an end to the town’s growth. The German occupying forces converted the seafront by demolishing the casino and some of the mansions in favour of fortifications.
After the war, the sea front was rebuilt and a new casino was erected. Today, Étretat again is a hub of international tourism, but also a place of recreation for the residents of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris.

A tasty September seafood snack for one of the juvenile herring gulls that has been begging me for food all week. It was so gentle and appreciative as I hand fed it this little pot of marine morsels. The Cornish pear cider was all mine.
I cooked this, then used an 18mm extension tube to get it to focus this close, then I ate it and it was delicious. It's got scallops, mussels, clams, butter, garlic, parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, lemon and parsley.
a popular and sought after, by locals and tourists, seafood market in manila. the guest or customer can choose from the wide variety of the freshest seafood then have it cooked and served to you at a nearby restaurant. there are open air and airconditioned spaces. this market is just beside manila bay
As a result of non-cooperative fisherman's refusal to move from the rocks he was standing on (I'm no angler, so I'm not sure why he really has to stand at that spot, maybe there is magic there, or maybe there's some more technical reason..), decided to create own foreground. Cue floating plank of door thing. Add piece of driftwood and a crab carcass, and you have... A seafood platter at sunrise. We found a dead fish later on, but the light was not so great, so I dumped that one.
