Local farmers' market, Saturday morning

[rydra_wong]

(Is it "farmer's market" or "farmers' market"? I don't know. There are definitely farmers plural there.)

Today, I arrived too late to buy any wild rabbit, which had been my plan. Woe!

But the Cox apples were labeled "very crisp", and I picked ones that felt iron-hard and rough-skinned. And I got my usual "box of misshapes" (pay much less and fill your own carton from the tray of cosmetically-imperfect eggs). And there were beef shanks for making osso bucco!

Even in the grey drizzly rain, a winner is I.

I go with farmers' market, it's the market belonging to/for farmers to bring their wares.

I've not had Cox apples. I'm taking it that they're sweet for eating out of hand?

They're one of the more generic apples over here, but very tasty when they're good. And yes, a dessert apple, rather than a cooking-only apple.
