Phyloxena went to farmers' market with a neighbor and was surprised to realize that she was rather annoyed by said neighbor mentioning her Russian background at every stall.  I mean, not that I'm ashamed of being relatively Russian or anything.  Nor that I never abuse arguable advantages of being a foreigner and able to safely misunderstand (or, perhaps, pretend to) certain conventions.  But on farmers' market?  Bit irrelevant, don't you think?

Actually, it depends on farmer's market ;)
The one on Alemany in San Francisco features more Russian customers than Russian grocery store in any given time :)

Good point, didn't realize

That was different one -- in Oakland. But thanks for the pointer!
