Farmers Markets

Well I was happily surprised to discover a farmers market at Ilford yeseterday, Sunday 27th September in the delightfully restored grounds of the grand house in Ilford's Valentine Park. There;s a Rose garden, substantial walled English gardens, a tearoom, stalls and a Farmers Market where we bought some apples from Kent, fruit juice, cheese, chorizo and smoked garlic.

The Farmers market is at Valentines Park Ilford on the fourth Sunday of every month and also on the Highh street at Wanstead the following Sunday, probably because its the first Sunday in the month or something like that.

Chorizo ( pronouced "Choh REE thoh" ) is A great hard cured pork sausage from Spain made with Pimenton de la Vera that gives it a wonderful smoky flavour. This brand, Palacios, is one of many authentic, Spanish-made chorizo available in the UK. It's excellent. Chorizo is very popular in Spain, being one of the main ingredients of Asturian stew, fabada, also in some Paella and Jambalaya. It is basically a staple in Spain, great for eating as an appetiser, or pan fried with vegetables, or for adding body and flavour to stews,stews and casseroles.
