"E" ...#1057

...stands for échalote.

Or expensive bloody onions.

This lot will put you back €6 a kilo.

Worth it though....

Looks like shallots to me. Tell us how you use the JB. Must be wonderful if you are parting with that kind of cash.

Should that not be S for Schalotte (maybe you have a translation into Moguntian?). Or is Mainz such a refined place that they speak French in the markets?

Mainz was French between 1792-1814 (the capital of the Département du Mont-Tonnerre) , 1919-1930 and 1945-1949. And they really DO call them echalotte on the market
