No Pudding

Delightful piece on the (produce) markets (Charles Perry’s “Midnight at the Oasis,” July 11). I particularly liked the relaxed, upbeat tone, rather than the solemn, statistics-laden puddings usually done on that sort of topic.

The ambience reminded me of Joe Mitchell’s famous--and infamous--pieces on Mr. Flood and the Fulton Fish Market.
