I wanted to say how much I love the local markets! They offer so much fresh produce..sometimes not as fresh depending on the vendor! No offence to anyone....! There is something intrinsic about shopping at a market...I do think it goes back way beyond us...to ancient civilizations. Their local fair, imported goods and sheer determination to make a living from home grown vegetables, eggs and animals and home-made goodies like cheese, jams, breads, cakes, pies, pickles and so much more..I think that's why I enjoy it so much...just like many of us.
The Plus side of it is: we may not get the supermarket perfection of size, shape and colour but we do get flavour without the high cost and awful polystyrene and plastic packaging. We can also haggle with the vendor, who loves his produce and wants to make a sale. I think both the vendor and the customer benefit..! I love a bargain...and I am sure the vendor loves a sale..so both parties are happy! Especially if you return because you just loved the freshness, excellence and flavour of the lovely local produce.
These are just a few the lovely things I found interesting in a market.
