Farmers Market - Scottish Style

We found our new farmers market! And how spoiled are we that we have several to choose from? We know. It's a 15 minute walk from our flat to the Stockbridge Farmers Market. It's the closest we've experienced to the Blois Farmers Market. There are more vendors, it's crowded with local folks, and its a lovely destination if you want to pick up things for a few days or just have lunch. Here's the eye candy:

I can't do the gluten, but dang, I can drool...


If you ever wondered about Scotch Eggs, this is what they look like. Also not gluten free although I feel my resistance faltering...


Course, there are restaurants throughout the area that we also want to visit.
Choices, choices and only one stomach to hold them all! It's a good thing we don't have a car - we have to walk all this off!
     And then there's the excuses not to walk at all... Last night we ate at Pickles - a little underground dive which only serves wine, cheese and preserved meats - and why not, when they do that so well? This is within stumbling distance from our flat...
We didn't feel like cooking, but didn't want a huge dinner. "A charcuterie tray would be nice," we thought. Um, YUM!

Sounds and looks amazing… jealous—Farmer's Markets weren't a bit thing in Exeter when I was there—or I wasn't aware that they were. That Wine, cheese, and preserves dinner looks AMAZING. I do something like that at home myself, from time to time. :)
