I really needed to get out of the house this weekend so I decided on lugging the family off to the Neighbourhood Goods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill on Saturday morning. I think my choice of day had a little 'to be desired'. This was the weekend that Table Bay Boulevard was closed to traffic (for road works) AND this was the weekend with the Theodore Roosevelt docked in Table Bay. Just imagine the N1...
After sitting the traffic for quite some time, we managed to get to the Market in Salt River. Parking was once more nightmarish but I managed to park about 3 blocks down.
This market was just too full for words. It seems everyone but the Pope pitched... it was a beautiful day, I might add. Well, we cruised around, testing and tasting. I found the most divine Bree Cheese, infused with Mushroom (R30). I also stocked up on Greek Pesto (R25) as well as Mel's favourite Red Pepper Pesto (R25). I also bought an amazing loaf of bread for R20 and decided to buy the fancy carrier bag too... this R10 is donated to charity. Celine then wanted one of the huge pancakes with Cinnamon and Sugar, with a splash of lemon syrup (R20). You guessed it... the syrup ended up on the front of dad's T-Shirt - bloody inconsiderate market goers!
Mel and I then started looking around for something to nibble on and found a really busy table with two ladies working frantically, making really good looking, healthy rolls!
These two ladies have hit on a money spinning formula. Mel and I each had a roll with Chicken, Basil Pesto, Red Pepper Pesto, Mayo, Pecorini (Cheese), Tomato and Leaves (Greens). R30 each! They must be making a fortune...
But man... was it GOOD! Finger licking good!
A great day was had by all...
