To market, to market… a colorful blog event

Posted on | February 13, 2008 |

Don’t forget, March 1 is the deadline for submitting your posts to To market, to market. This is a blog event I thought of to share with my fascination for farmers’ markets around the world. Yes it’ts true, whenever I travel to a new place, one of the itinerary would be going to the market place and look around at the variety of local produce. I am fascinated by the difference between different marketplaces -varieties of vegetables, types of fish and meat, local sweets and exotic fruits. WOuldn’t it be nice to cook them? Living in the Philippines, where rice is the staple food, you would be surprise at the variety of ways that it is prepared. Not the usual steamed rice but as cakes wrapped in banana or coconut leaves, cooked with coconut milk and ginger, fermented or mixed with chocolate or grilled.

Equally fascinating for me would be how local markets look like in temperate areas where the changing season would dictate the produce available.

Aren’t you curious, too?

Some rules:

1. Post a topic on a local market near your place, where you buy your food or from your own travels. Include pictures.
2. Link your page to To market, to market.
3. Email me the permalink to your post. Include your location, country, blog name and of course, your name
4. Deadline is March 1, 2008. I will post a round-up on the first week of March.

Hope to hear from you!

But I’ll get to look at everyone else’s; that will be fun!
