Farmers Market Goodies

There are some comforts of the familiar life that we don't like to sacrifice, even for a life in kathmandu. Finding certain individual indulgent treats can be difficult here, and for me, those 'treats' tend to be edible. The is no Loblaws or Essence of Life in Kathmandu, no one-stop grocery shop where you can get any ethnic ingredient or health food or organic veggie. Here I have taken the habit of prowling each grocery shop looking for certain ingredients. i know i can find Kimchi at one store, beef tenderloin at another, Japanese food at yet another...
Hence, I was thrilled to discover the 1905 farmer's market held every Saturday in the city. Here is a link to a little video of the market made by a travel group. 
The market is held in picturesque restaurant grounds and the wares are sold by various local craftsmen from Nepal, Italy, France, Russia, Poland...
The goodies we found.... it was like Christmas morning and thanksgiving dinner combined....

Cheese! (goats cheese, mozzarella, brie, all fresh made)

Fresh organic produce!

Multigrain bread!

Fresh homemade Italian pasta!

for J: pain de chocolat!

and for U: fresh mango puree!

Cheese, fresh ravioli and various organic produce (including shittake mushrooms!)

my stomach is telling me that it is getting easier and easier to call kathmandu 'home'...
