Farmers’ Market – Part II
Two samosa vendors at the market? Yummy Samosa arises as a competitor of Samosa Delite since fall 2008. The latter has built up a good reputation over the years and seems to be doing well, despite the presence of its rival. One thing for sure, the local community will benefit from the variety of samosa available; in terms of taste, flavour, and price.
According to the owner of Samosa Delite, 7,000 to 10,000 pieces of samosa sold in a day! Or more accurately, half a day (6 a.m. until 1 p.m.). That’s amazing! Patel’s was the first to offer samosa in this community, but they’re no longer in business. Many people missed their samosas; thin and crispy pastry skin, with spicy goodness wrapped in them.
Besides the food vendors, which locate mainly outside the main building, there are different stalls in the building itself. Meat, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, beverages, handicrafts, baked goods etc.
The meat stall. Meat is freshly cut upon request.
Handicrafts that are unique and stylish. Great as souvenirs!
Freshly-squeezed orange juice. Fruit smoothies are available too.
Not surprisingly, groceries from regular stores are usually less expensive than those you get from the farmers’ market. Nonetheless, food items sold at the market are fresher; and best of all, by local producers. Some uniques items can only be found exclusively at the market, such as pure maple syrup, craftworks etc.
