Slow Food Merida

Here in Merida there is a group of people organizing an interest in 'Slow Food'.  They are a part of an International movement towards more naturally grown and raised food.  You can get a general idea of what they are doing here     www.slowfood.com

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
