St. George's Market

I was down this morning at the Saturday "City Food and Garden Market" at St. George's Market on May St. in Belfast. It runs from c.9am to 3pm. If you haven't been, and you are in the area, it's really worth a visit. The atmosphere is so good. I bought some organic veg and fruit very cheaply - including some beautiful apples. More cheaply I reckon than the organic veg sold in the supermarkets - and you get to meet the people who grow the food you eat! I am going to do my weekly veg shop there every week.

They sell all sorts of stuff - not just veg but organic meat and locally-caught fish and seafood (if you have to eat meat and fish), Irish cheeses, olives and antipasti, all kinds of wonderful-looking bread and cakes, fair-trade teas and coffees and other fair-trade goods. There is plenty of space and lots of tables. There is even a tight little jazz band playing! Lots of people seem to come down and have breakfast before doing their Saturday shop. It's a real find!
