Felt like one of my kids going on a field trip!
The market was beautiful, rich in colours and flavours.
Made me wonder why one would ever shop at a grocery store...
Toured the Premiere Moisson Bakery as well as the Hamel Cheese shop.
Mostly made me hungry.
The part that cemented me feeling like a child was the scavenger hunt at the end.
BUT I actually learnt things though...
- Jerusalem artichoke and artichokes have nothing to do with each other.
- A salsifie is root vegetable between a carrot and a celery.
- We have fruits and vegetables from Mexico, Peru, Europe, Israel and India.
- You can find GMO-free corn in the market
- Mushrooms can be several hundred dollars per pound.
- Hottest pepper in the world is the Ghost Chile from Africa, which we harvest here too.
- It's cranberry season now. These are field cherries.
- Peeled garlic can be stored in the fridge for long periods.
My classmates, Vanessa, Marion and I shared a delicious, fresh but fattening lunch. We have 20+ years between us but it feels just right to hang with them. Not sure, they would say the same for me, as I can be their mother ;)
