pie-eater 207 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I quite walking round like town markets when I'm back in the UK. Can often find some interesting things, amongst all the rubbish. And of course the cheese and pie stalls are always a highlight. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Haha. Yes I like those cheese stands too. There was a good one in Liverpool last summer, they had a special sausage/hot dog kind of stand going on. Bloody ace that was, best I've ever had. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Are they a second hand market, or a car boot sale, type of thing? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hmmm, second hand cheese Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 No doubt it will vary but lots of 'market towns' will have one or two days a week when the market comes out. Not second hand, but just local small businesses. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Ahhh Righto.. Yes we have 3 day a week (fri/sat/sun) markets in Fremantle. It'll be my new fave destination in acquiring organic products. Stuff like raw honey is really hard to get at the supermarket - they get it straight from the apiarists. Nice!

NoFakie 45 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Aye, I like a good market and its great to see them being reestablished. The ones on the continent, France etc., are wicked. They are much more part of peoples' lives. Japanese people shop little and often, which is what markets not supermarkets are for, but markets are rare and most little shops like greengrocers and butchers don't seem to be doing very well either.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 They can be quite rubbish though as well with a selection of cheap underwear, t-shirts, brushes and out of date sweets. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Permenant indoor markets are often good for things like meats, sausages, pies and cheese. In good old northern towns anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
