GrahamY Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I enjoyed the fragrance of garlic and the atmosphere which the continental market brought to Fargate. Judging by the response of Sheffield folk and visitors, it was a major success. In fact, it could become a permanent feature for my money! The large dishes of meat, prawns, potatoes, the baguettes, cheeses, sausages, cherries looked and smelled fantastic. The flowers and plants from Holland ... If you missed it, pop down quick, it finishes today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 There's some discussion of this in the General Chat forum too. I hope they do make it regular feature - I agree it was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 When I go abroad, one of my fave pastimes is to find the local market and buy some great fresh produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Twinkle* Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I saw the continental market. I thought it was a bit of a hazard though. The food wasn't protected, people could just walk up, cough and splutter all over it if they pleased. Also, the smell of lush was wafting all over the food and so people'd be tasting a tinge of handmade soap with their food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHaywood Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I don't know about it becoming a permanent market, at least not as big as it was. Fargate is crowded enough at times without making everyone channel through the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Caprice: About food hygiene. Don't worry yourself too much. You'll be fine. It all comes from the ground anyway, or an animal. Cheese is like mould. There are germs everywhere. Just because it's not in plastic doesn't mean its less safe. People cough in factories too you know, and sweat, I certainly did at Fletcher's Bakery when I was there. Look at all the old folk at Castle Market - if there were problems with the food on display there then they would all be ill wouldn't they?
