A friend told me about this market (these markets?) yesterday. What a find. I don't know whether or not it was the rain that kept everyone away, but it was a nice change from the hustle of Chandler. Heaps of vegies I'd never seen before
including these that I bought from a Laotian seller
I think they're called pea eggplants - yes, I know! Eggplants! She couldn't tell me much about them except to say that she puts them in stews. I bought some yummy bread from here -
one loaf of fig/apricot/cashew organic spelt sourdough, and one loaf of white sourdough.
The biggest surprise was seeing a stand with Hungarian doughnuts (fank) and Hungarian fry bread (langos) both of which my mother used to make throughout my childhood. I couldn't resist one of the fank -
dipped in vanilla sugar - dare I say it, even better than my mother's, although of course not as steeped in memory.
I found a set of bowls too - $10 reduced to $8 just for me :-)
