This group has started a Slow Food Market that is available weekly. Today was the 2nd Slow Food Market. I had intended to go last week after my dental appt; unfortunately I was in no fit state after 2 hours of digging and drilling and sucking and biting. It was a rough dental appt.
Anyway, I went this morning to the market - it was a nice event with a variety of offerings; breads, eggs, dips, fruits, veggies, honey, fresh tofu and soymilk, mermelades, pates, etc.
I bought a few things but found the prices to be a bit high, especially on the things that were made. A quart of pickles was 75mxp, a small container of blended sauces and or dips for 40+mxp - part of the problem for me is so many of the prepared things are/were things that I make regularly at home. So for someone that doesn't prepare things the prices are probably just fine!
Anyway, here are some pictures at the market this morning

It's always fun to see pictures from your life, Debi. Thanks for sharing them :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Debi
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I always find it interesting how healthy many local Mexicans look even though many might be living without even a floor in their homes. Healthy appearance, great spirits, large smiles. Must be something in the food! Im here in Playa del Carmen and we frequent the local market many times instead of Walmart and Sorianas !! talk later

BTW- There is goat cheese available at that market. Monique Duval the property owner and baker also sells goat cheese, yogurt, kefir, labne and whole milk.
ReplyDeleteYour right..the prices are a bit steep even for someone that doesnt know how to make jack, like me but it is certainly worth splurging on a few things that will just take your meals of the week to a whole new level. :-)
