MAHON POINT FARMERS MARKET
Dull morning in Mahon today but the Farmers Market was as lively as ever. Reached the venue just around opening time and started with a five euro bag of mackerel from O’Driscoll’s of Schull.
Passed Una Poynton’s jam and cake stand and realised I had finished the last of the marmalade at breakfast. Una wasn't there but hubby was and my jar of thick cut was wrapped neatly in a fancy bag.
Headed then for Green Saffron and decided to try it out by buying a meal in a tub: lamb, rice and bread for two. Instructions of course came with it, generously detailed by the man himself.
Then called to the Gubbeen Smokehouse spot to buy the five star Chorizo. That will be served with our favourite Spanish rice recipe.
A trip around here could take all day, so we had to be somewhat selective but couldn't resist the Old Millbank smoked fish stall where we bought some of their delicious salmon pate.
Also made a stop at the Natural Foods Bakery where a round of a terrific organic white bread set us back €2.65.
Don't normally shop at Tesco’s but since we were there.... we filled up the trolley, yoghurts from Glenilen and some Czech beer buried deep in the load.

You should try making the Green Saffron Curry from the spice mixes-amazing! Arun is fantastic and with the instructions given to you what could go wrong? Try the Korma, Oudi Murgh or Tandoori. All to die for!
Will do. Thanks. He certainly is helpful engaging and knows his stuff.
