Not as many stalls here as usual due to time of year and a lot of people still being away for new year. This is an old market which has come into prominence again in last five years, it has a great selection of quality food from independent producers. I bought some big fat green olives in a tarragon and garlic marinade to eat later but couldn't resist trying a couple of things.
Mushroom sandwich with truffle oil
Two lovely slices of wholemeal bread could barely contain the vast selection of mushrooms in this. The mushrooms had parmesan shaved on top and also drizzled with truffle oil, this was all the accompaniment the fabulous mushrooms needed. Really very good but I was still hungry after finishing it.
Hog roast sandwich
With a couple of bits of pork crackling on top to entice you to the meat crammed into the floury ciabatta this really got you salivating at thought of the taste. As well as the pork the bap contained tart apple sauce and fresh peppery rocket leaves. A lot more filling than the mushroom this really hit the spot
We walked down the canal to the Pavilion Cafe in Victoria park for a quick coffee and then up to the Ginger Pig shop on Lauriston Road, as well as the butchery they have a deli downstairs. I ended up buying some anchovies, a block of parmesan and some vibrant green pesto. I also decided I wanted to make some brownies at some point in the weekend so got three packets of Sumatran 72% chocolate, expensive but will be amazing in squidgy buttery brownies.
