Trip to the French Market
Finaly we got to go to the market in St Louis this morning. It's a typical French saturday market with all of the normal fruit, meat and other food stalls plus a few arts and crafts. We could have bought a vine but we've really not got the space for it. However, we did manage to stock up on some meat (at about a third of the price of Basel), veg and a little cheese of course. But my favourite stall was the bloke selling a huge variety of wild mushrooms - all very fresh and a wonderful assortment of aromas. Back home tonight to cook the steak & mushrooms. With Switzerland not being in the EU there are limitations on what you can bring back - 20kg of veg is probably sufficient but the 500g pp of fresh meat (doesn't inc sausage, paté etc) is a bind. Mind you if you're not driving you're rarely stopped.
