A Melbourne Market

Queen Vic market signOne thing I love doing when we travel is checking out the local markets, whether supermarket, farmer’s market, stock market (okay, I went too far) or corner store.  Melbourne has a market that I wish I could teleport back home; it was visually stunning and made me envious of people that could shop there every day.  It’s not earth-shatteringly different from many European markets, but it’s the only one we saw in Australia and I wanted to share it with you.

Please caption this one yourself
I’ll say!
No giant squid, though
Mmmmmm…. meat. And lots of it.
The only Polish deli between Melbourne and…. Poland
This warms a Polish girl’s heart
There are custard apples somewhere in the picture
Capsicum. Not peppers.
Excuse me, do you have any lamb?
We were hoping for Kangaroo kielbasa
The not so elusive barramundi
Antipasto made easy
Just think of the size of the soup pot!
Little city chickens…
“Butter specialists” – me, too!

Now that you’ve seen all the pretty pictures, I should tell you the ONLY reason I even wrote this post was to include that absolutely priceless photo of my hubby.

    The store hours are a hoot…every day is different…I can see myself getting confused! Prices look bizarre…what is the currency conversion? I don’t even know what Australian money is called?

      The hours at all stores in Sydney and Melbourne were .. interesting! The conversion rate was $1.00 American to 1.03AD (australian dollars) – they had THE prettiest money – really colorful and with a see-through hole in it!
