Market Day!

Tuesday is market day in the town where I grew up. The whole of the High St. (Main St. for my friends across the pond) is filled with stalls ... mostly selling cheap tat but I did pick up a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie. This is processed pork in jelly, all wrapped in a pastry case! Great with ketchup.

Then I had to return something to an electrical store ... unlike in the States, they don't customarily take goods back unless they are faulty but I think the very act of my asking caught the store assistant by surprise, so I got my refund.

Then it was onto the grocery store ... OMG, what a cornucopia of long-forgotten foods. I picked up some onion bhaji and a couple of faggots (like meatballs but baked and made from offal, all held together by sheep's stomach membrane). I will eat like a king tonight!
