Raw Milk Cheese!
Back in January, in the depths of winter, there was no good looking produce in the stores. Even the winter vegetables were looking a bit sickly, and I just couldn’t justify spending money on food that had been picked green, shipped to a store, ripened in route – and then wilted – and overpriced – to serve myself for dinner. When I could take it no more, I googled for and set out on foot – and found my favorite market in Temple Bar. I was so pleased with the selection that I’ve been back a few times since, just for the produce, the locally made food, and the atmosphere.

It’s hard to NOT buy up everything – it’s just so beautiful. And now that the Market has moved into 3 different locations, wandering in the Temple Bar district has allowed me to learn a bit more of this ancient bit of town and get some more photographs to make my (and your) mouth water. So, to my friends in the “Siberian” weather in Berlin, and my friends in the “Snow-packed” depths that are the Midwest/Southwest of the USA, eat your heart out.
Beautiful cakes – which I thought were soap at first…
My favorite booth so far is the chocolate stand. This guy is amazing – and while he’s quite expensive, the fair trade organic chocolates he make are rich, dark, and wonderful. I’ve never had their like – and a single little bon bon is enough to kill any and every chocolate craving for days. They’re exquisite.
Little bites of heaven
If you get the chance, and you’re in Dublin on a Saturday, put on your coat and come out to the Market.
