In an ever increasing attempt to see as many french markets as possible, Patrick, Jim, Theresa, Laurence, and I went to the Cathedral market on Saturday. This was a producer's market, which means that in order to sell goods you had to have made them. The Marne market probably had better selection and was a little cheaper, but there was some pretty amazing stuff.
Even for this late time of year, we picked up some raspberries and grapes. We also found some potatoes, a duck breast, and fish patty thing (that was apparently pretty good), a nice cow's cheese, and lettuce. I think we need to go to the market about twice a week, so that means Gaby's Mom may have to go for us on Tuesday or Wednesday (they live around the corner from us, but more on that later.)
The duck breast was probably one of the more interesting finds of the day. In the states the only duck that's really available is the Long Island duck which is pretty fatty. But here you can buy a nice piece of duck that fries in the skillet well (Gaby's landlord told us how, which is a totally different story).
