A day in York: York Farmerâ€™s Market in England

The York Farmerâ€™s Market are usually held every last Friday of the month and habitually takes place at Parliament Street in the centre of York.

I like the slogan, ‘Bringing a taste of the countryside into the City.’

All the pies, pudding, cakes, tarts and every little sweet pastry did not tempt me, afterall I do not have a sweet tooth. I do however have a salty and sour tooth.

So what did I buy? Well, my usual favourite English staple foodâ€”Crisps. It was nice that they have a gourmet option on sale. I actually bought 3 cans of the Convivial Yorkshire Crips (sour cream, dill & mustard flavor) and they were so absolutelicious good! Wishing I bought more.

I also came upon a Hog Roast stall which is a York specialty.

From the website of York Council:

â€œFarmers, growers or producers from within a 40 mile radius of York city centre sell their produce, direct to the public. Advantages include cutting out the “middle man”, reducing the distance that the produce has to travel to reach the consumer and giving customers the opportunity to deal direct with the producer.

All goods that are sold on York farmers’ markets have either been grown, reared, caught, brewed, pickled, baked, smoked or processed by the stallholder.

York is proud to hold certification status – adhering to strict criteria issued by the National Association of Farmers Markets. You can find out more about farmers’ markets on the National Association of Farmers’ Markets website.â€

All the sticky stuff here: Luxury sticky toffee pudding, sticky pear and ginger pudding, sticky lemon pudding.

Ostrich burgers with cheese… this is a first one for me.

These pies look so good, I am having second thoughts on buying one.

All kinds of chutney for you.

These Convivial Yorshire Chips are really yummy. I am addicted to crisps. This is a terrible eating habit that I am trying to let go at the moment but having a massive hard time. I bought 3 cans.
