A few key snaps from the Place d'Aligre Market, Paris

Claire and I rendezvous-ed in Paris, en route to Rome the weekend before last. We stayed with my very good friend Emily (host of some renown). She was very excited to have foodies in the house to appreciate the wonders of the Place d'Aligre Market! 

Here's just a few shots from the wanderings through the stalls........health & safety......blow it out your ear. The French know how to do it properly!

They're just sleeping...like bats!

Real butchering - No dodgy sauces here!

I can get this just off shore down in Mayo. Anyone ever tried?

Ricci di Mare - couldn't find them on the menu last September in Puglia
