They say a picture paints a thousand words, so here is my three thousand word essay on this week’s highlights from Flemington Markets!
We bought fifteen punnets (one tray) of the sweetest, most delicious strawberries for $15…
… a small bag of blisteringly hot red and orange chillies for $2…
… and some Atherton Tablelands Sebago potatoes. Sebagoes are the default Australian white potato, but these are unusual, as they’re grown in volcanic clay instead of dirt. They cleaned up easily, and we baked them tonight as wedges (and served them with sour cream and Pete’s chilli jam).
Small Man announced that these are now his favourite, which is great because they’re a lot cheaper than the gourmet varieties. I suspect, though, that he just likes saying “volcano potatoes”…
