Vannes - the farmers’ market

It’s rare to find such an extensive farmers’ market. We’ll let the photos do the talking.

Oh Oh Oh-how glorious. The last time I ate nougat-from Ganges market,I think-I took a big bite and my teeth were clamped together for several alarming minutes! Never again-I thought all my teeth would stay in the nougat once I managed to force my mouth open-but the flavour was delicious.I do miss the olives from the market! Hil x x x

Both Lin and I thought we would lose our teeth as well! We chose the nougat with mixed nuts. Delicious.

The added horror, though, is that the nuts get stuck between your teeth! Good for dental floss sales – if you have any teeth left.x x
