I was not very enthusiastic about my visit to Ventimiglia. You can find my post here: Rundown Vintimiglia
So to cheer myself up, I went on to search for the local market. Yes, I love food and it makes me happy all the time. I wanted to bring home some dried sausages and other Italian fares.
Market Tip: When picking dried sausages, pick the hard ones, they are usually the tastiest.
A few weeks back Dutchman was complaining that the sausages I brought from Spain before the Riviera trip were not tasty enough. He wasn’t into it and in fact I still have 2 left in the cupboards. I am now seriously doubting if we will ever get to eat them before they hit the expiry date. So I promised Dutchman I will buy a bag of Italian dried cured sausages in this Italy work/pleasure trip. He is sometimes a copycat; he tends to follow whatever I like and what I am currently obsessing on.
I have read that every Friday there is an open market in Ventimiglia and its when the French come over here to buy Italian goods and foods. Designer knockoffs, replicas and look-alikes of luxuriant varieties are the specialty of Ventimiglia as well. Not for me though.
