This was one of he highlights of the trip, my husband and I couldn't wait to get to the market and see all the wonderful foods and try most of them! The food section was very well arranged, all grid like with each kiosk sectioned off and windows into the fridges and displays. My husband loved this because in most markets he says he is afraid of knocking over stuff on open tables!
We did a lap of it to see it all and sampled some smoked salmon stuffed with cream cheese and proscuitto and then went back around when we had decided what we wanted to eat for lunch.
We filled a container with some smoked trout pate, some spicy hummus and some spinach and nut dip then got a couple of stuffed olives with semi dry tomato and blue cheese. Hubby had a cream cheese stuffed mini bell pepper. We had finally decided on some olive bread to go with it. We found an empty table and sat down to enjoy it all! We tried a few other things and then before we knew it after all the wondering around the other sheds of meats and fish and fresh produce and clothes etc the market was closing! Had we been there for a few more days and had those days not been a Mon or a Wed when it is actually closed we would have spent more time here! We also debated whether we should have rented an apartment with a kitchen so that we could have actually bought some of the meat and fish and veggies and cheeses etc and cooked meals with them instead of being in a hotel. That being said, had that been the case we would have then felt a tad guilty going out for dinners instead of cooking and we wanted to try a few places in Melbourne. We both feel we would like to visit Melbourne again and the market will be high up on the list of things to do!
