Pike's Market: Savor Seattle Tour Part 2

Pike's Market - Savor Seattle Tour cont.
Amazing selection of pastas. We bought a few and sampled some chocolate linguine. Hmmm? Very different.
Mom and me by a flower stall.

Flowers!











I wanted to buy them all!





Yum!






Look at the size of these shrimp!


We stopped for a break at the Crumpet Shop and had many, many cups of tea, a crumpet with butter and honey and plenty of people watching.

We bought some smoked fish here.

After all that food what could be better than a nice piece of gum?
Preferably not ABC gum!



Mom and Dad.



Dad and me.


Chickens! Yay!



This shop had all kinds of eggs - duck, quail, goose and chickens.


These are a few of the delicious things we bought (and ate!).
This butter was so, so good. We bought 2 tubs (in 6 days) and ate every bit.






Black velvet plums. So sweet!



A little collage.
Challenge: Can you make a meal from the above ingredients?



Sea beans. These were awesome. Just don't microwave them. They have sea salt ('cause they're from the sea) and the salt sparks in the micro.


Rainer cherries. Really amazing eaten on the beach.



Kumquats. My new favorite food. You want to kill yourself while you're eating them, because they are sour, but then they are sweet and ahhhhh delish and you want to eat another one. And another one and another one.....



Mangoes.

Mom making dinner. Yum!



Morels in sage butter. So, so good. Like vegetarian bacon fat. Crispy, chewy and salty.



Dad and me enjoying our sage butter morels.


Market Spice 'um spices? Tea and nice little tea bags and yeah spices too.


Bread, cheese and tomatoes.

Ah, dinner view!
