Blame my fall from the health food wagon on the Shongweni Market!
A friend and I visited the popular Shongweni Farmers and Crafters Market amid sugar cane fields up on a hill in the Shongweni Valley a couple of weeks ago, which I shared with you shortly afterward.
We had seen fabulous local crafts and then discovered a gastronomic experience. We'd not had breakfast, wrong time to be food shopping. We wanted everything we laid our eyes on!
The Grater Plater
An innovative beautiful ceramic tool made by a crafter who loves cooking caught our attention before we went on to the food. The grater plater crushes everything that needs crushing or grating in food preparation.
Handcrafted Stuffed Olives of Every Kind!
Tell me which you would pick.
Savoury Bakes...Prego Rolls...
Especially for breakfast or brunch - Mediterranean Vegetable, Chicken Prego, Full English Breakfast...what shall I have?
Smoked Meats and Sausage Specialties
Mushrooms
Freshly picked mushrooms always sell out quickly, the stall holder could not keep up with unpacking as they literally flew off the shelves.
Nuttela Pancakes
No market worth its salt can be called such if there are no pancakes! I had a cinnamon & sugar pancake.
Homemade Macaroons & French Crullers from Africa
Crispy macaroons and featherlight choux delights - pure indulgence!
Creamy Delectable Homemade Fudge
...of every kind; Turkish Delight, Milo, Rolo, Licorice, Cashew & Cranberry, Matcha...and the list goes on. I bought a couple of different flavours, all absolutely delicious, but my favourite still is the Triple Caramel Salted.
The charming young man did not mind having his photo taken and even permitted me to use it in my blog.
Blame it on the market, blame it on the food, but the blame lies solely on my shoulders, who can resist such temptations?
