Yay the French market is in the village

[Stat Brother]

This week I will be mostly eating overpriced sausage, cheese and bread.

I've started already and won't stop until I have to wear a kaftan.

There always worth a view, but I usually come home with something I might have bought in Waitrose for less money. But usually a pleasant stroll.

Oh be fair Husty I've been a good boy for ages.
(Tour de France rest day tomorrow so I'll get my apologies in early)

The French market is exciting, bearing in mind just how quiet the village is, on a Sunday.
The only other option is watching dossers fighting over White Lightening, in the next town, so forgive me for being excited.

One wonders how the French would react if there was an English market touring their towns all summer.

What would it sell do you think?

Are Italian Markets in Sussex any better?

You've only got to go to the farmers msrket in Shoreham to see that we have a good array of local produce and makers and could put together a decent display. Trouble is there would be nothing unique to us that the French couldn't do, and in reality our stalls may well just be selling discount tat.

I did think as I bought some ropey old sausage and manky bit of cheese, they must be pi$$ing themselves laughing.
But I was happy, making Husty grumpy is just an added bonus.

I guess we'd sell them the White Lightening dossers and 'The Greatest Football League in the World' TM.

Off the top of my head. You are unlikely to see any of these in a French market, all are on sale at Shoreham Farmers Market

Scotch Eggs
local bottled ale
Pasties

You also have to appreciate that French food is highly regional, so many of the things we have on sale would be exotic in many but maybe not all parts of France. Root vegetables like parsnips, turnip and suede are not widely appreciated in many parts of France.

True. I heard only last week that the French don't like parsnips at all. Quite a surprise really.

The french buy tea, marmalade and shortbread I believe. I got stung for some over priced cheese, will get it from waitrose in future.

Parsnip (Panais in french) is mostly thought of a food for animals in a lot of France although, in the last couple of years they have started to appear in French supermarkets.
