# 77 – Visit a continental market
Saturday, May 13th, 2006 at 6:16 pm by lee
A continental market has been held in Carmarthen this weekend and I thought I would take the time to explore it and try out some of the food and drink available from other parts of Europe. Okay it would be a lot cheaper to buy similar products from the local supermarket as my mother was quick to point out but I felt that would be a waste to not enjoy what was on offer at the market. I did notice that some of the stallholders were not really selling anything that I considered to be “continental” but there were more than a few stalls manned by foreigners offering samples of their wares.
I did notice that the stall selling biscuits from Brittany and the chocolates from Belgium but the prices were ridiculously expensive. I worked it out that only a few biscuits would cost me £3.50, they may have been handmade but I have better things to spend my money on and spend it I did.
Ended up getting some pear cider and some items from the French stall, which had been freshly baked and there really is nothing better than freshly baked pastries.
