Savenor's Market

(No luck at Meatland). Plunged thru the Saturday Haymarket just now and got some great produce like 10 lemons for $1, cress, recao, melons etc. My arms are longer now from carrying the bags. The halal meat markets varied. Some extraordinary fresh fish like snapper with super clear eyes. Great quality seafood! Already got my goat but they had at least 6 heads in one below street level spot. Maybe...+READ (No luck at Meatland). Plunged thru the Saturday Haymarket just now and got some great produce like 10 lemons for $1, cress, recao, melons etc. My arms are longer now from carrying the bags. The halal meat markets varied. Some extraordinary fresh fish like snapper with super clear eyes. Great quality seafood! Already got my goat but they had at least 6 heads in one below street level spot. Maybe I'll take a stab at Mannish Water when the weather improves. Shoppers in Saris and ḥijāb in myriad colors speculated as the vendors called out specials. The close press of the shuk-like aisles was fun and I wished I'd had a good camera and no bundles. (NTS: never get a slice in Haymarket no matter how hungry! Had to recover at Umberto 4 slices,2 rice balls, thimble of vino). By that way I'm must note that it seems like Michael Eisner has taken over the North End and Disneyfied it. I feel a rant coming on.

Finally got to Savenor today on leg 3 of the meat trail. Should've called. Fresh out of scrapple. I'll check back. They did have some foie gras chunks that I could not resist and will make poutine w/foie gras sauce using burrata from Salumeria Italiana instead of traditional cheese curds eh. Also had to try some Unadilla Valley beef jerky. I am savoring a plug as I write. Salty, smoky, chewy, tasty. It's where the beef has been I guess. in the case today: Elk, Ostrich, Rattlesnake and Lion. I've have never knowing eaten feline so I can't share its virtues. I think I'm creeping myself out here no matter how omnivorous I may be. I will say if they'd had Moosalami, the purple meat, I would've been all over it. Several veal cutlets fell in the cart which I'll milanese for Cemitas de Puebla after this. Meating adjourned.-COLLAPSE / REPLY (41 Replies) (by EATTV, created March 5, 2011)
