About Me
- Lannio
- Passionate about music/singing and travel. I’ve travelled to 30+ countries on shoe-string budgets, lived in France, trained my voice and sing: jazz, rock and classical. Love each one for their differences and challenges. Today much of my learning comes from travelling and appreciating cultures. I believe all should travel to see how others live elsewhere. While we have different faiths, foods etc., essentially we’re the same. Peace to us all!

Got enough photos there?
LOL
I guess we need to see lots of pics to truly get the feel for the market.
What an amazing aray of colour and texture - I can just imagine the different aromas...
So, what did you buy?
...I can't read your list.
You've got it. Words to describe this market just wouldn't give it the same justice as describing it through pictures.
You can find practically every type of food item at this place so it's as much more about excess than practicality.
It's been rated as one of the top 25 food markets in the world and sits at the foot of my street!
I took photographs from only two of the three sections.
It's very easy to buy more than you need so I'm very careful and pragmatic when I go there. I bought asparagus, strawberies, 7-grain bread, chicken breasts, salad greens and farmers thick cut bacon.
Unlike your other scenic shots of ski slopes, there's something about that building and the interior market that could be right out of manchester UK.
I love the St Lawrence Market- you can find anything there. I wish it were closer to us, but having to take the car to get there makes it impractical. We tend towards the farmers' markets nearer to home because of it.
Ooh beautiful pics!
I'm hungry now...
:)
What a fantastic market! You are making hungry though!! It looks like everything you need/or want is right there.

The market was established in 1803. The building has a long history and was first used as a City Hall and contained not only bureaucrats - but a jail and a small market!
Oh, God....I won't let David see this post, or he'll be crying in the grief of missing all his hometown has to offer! We went to the Market while in T.O. a couple of weekends ago, and it was only at Luba's Tea store that I can find the special brand of Sir Thomas Lipton tea they sell only in restaurants here. The best part was souvlaki for $0.99 each. Here, they are $3.99 each!! Robbery!! Oh, and we got rice from Rube's, and it was the best rice I've ever cooked in my life. Ahhh, St. Lawrence Market....how we miss ye... makes me want to move back to Toronto....almost. Pesky in-laws. :)
I'm drooling now Lannio! What a fabulous market! It reminds me of the markets in Melton Mowbray, which I expect Ian knows too, but you seem to have absolutely everything there. Wow! The only thing I find difficult to get used to at these markets (and that includes here) is the sight of the animals....but then I'm one of the worst kinds of veggie - a sentimental one!
fablulous!!..i love markets..we have alot here..there used to be one ..the quayside market set in the oldest part of newcastle..but a lot of our outdoor markets have ceased to be..which is a real shame..the food looks really fresh..
that looks like heaven to me... if I could blink my eyes and have anything I wanted, I would be able shop at a market like that every day...
