Literatura piękna. II Wojna Światowa. Okupowana Francja.
Bohaterka jest w małym miasteczku w Owernii. Idzie na targ kupić trochę kiepskich warzyw.
"She stopped at a stall to fil her string bag with a few grey-market potatoes and a mangy-looking cabbage."
Czy "szarorynkowe" coś oznacza? Czy istnieje coś takiego jak szary rynek? O co może tu chodzić?

Visits to relatives in the countryside was an important means of acquiring extra foodstuffs. This was frequently known as le marché gris, the grey market. The living conditions in France's major cities meant that few had land on which to cultivate crops. However, as most French people still had family living off the soil, weekend visits to the extended family helped ensuring additional food, especially fresh meat and vegetables. Although stations were carefully controlled by customs, a great deal of food was smuggled into the impoverished cities. - https://eserve.org.uk/tmc/occupied/quotid.htm
