No vegetables, no biscuits, no apples - not even a trace of the bag they were in, complete with a modicum of cloves in a screw of paper. And most surprising of all, no soup cubes. The only fruit and vegetables left to us was the small supply hung in a tree, to wit: 2 potatoes, 4 tomatoes, 1 onion and 6 oranges, for 2 persons for 4 days.
