      Hi, thanks, not a very big market compared to some I’ve seen “across the ditch” in Sydney and Melbourne but none the less pretty decent for our small comparative population 😀

      Thanks Peter, there are quite a few markets here but in fairness nothing like some of yours in Melbourne and Sydney 😀

    I wondered if anything could beat those Rueben sandwiches, but then the sweeter treats oh my gosh!

      Thanks Kylie , I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of plants at the market last time I went , perhaps because it was spring. 😀

    Hi Chris! Great market! All of the food choices look amazing, and beautiful! I’d love to have some of the New York Cheesecake! Beautiful woodworking too, and crafts. I loved seeing the hand knit socks- I have some like them that I’ve knit for my hiking socks! 😁🌟🌟🩷💚👍👍 Enjoyed the video!

      Thanks Jennifer, we’ve always been lucky in Auckland with the number of markets we have, each with their own flavour. Yes indeed there are some very delicious food choices there. 😀

      Thanks Gracie, probably one of the better newer markets even though it has got smaller recently with the loss of a big car park they were using. There is a much older market not far away which I’m working on a video at the moment and I’m not sure the competition is necessarily a good thing for small traders. 😀

      Hi, agree, they are interesting places with a lot of variety, it’s been a bit rough for them this last two years with Auckland getting a lot more rain than usual. 😀

    Busy place, nice market. You've captured some stunning and appetizing images of the foods available. That rueben sandwich and oh the New York cheesecake, I think I'm a fan.
    I am a big fan of farmers markets and it's nice to see what's available in your local area. Those carved wooden cutting boards and charcuterie boards are really nice. Wow! Great tour.
    👌👌🧑‍🌾👩‍🌾 Cheers to the local food producers, artisans and creators.

      Thanks a lot 😀, we have some pretty decent markets here , OK not a patch on Granville Island but still probably more like your away from the centre versions. Definitely hard to walk away from any of them with your belt size the same and some good quality vegetables . I especially like the wood work with the inlaid Paua which I think has similarities to what you might just call Abalone. (Paua is just a species of Abalone) Paua shell is super popular here for crafters and of course they are eaten especially by the indigenous Maori. It's a pretty tough "meat" and I've only had it minced finely and eaten as a fritter but I'm sure there are other ways to make it less chewy 😀

    • @chilleats7024

      That's really interesting, I noticed the shell in the woodwork and thought it was quite a special art. Paua, I have learned something new today. Thanks again for sharing!👍

      Thanks Anna , there are a lot of markets in NZ, certainly around the Auckland area. Some of them have been quite badly impacted by our unusually (or is that the new norm) wet weather the last couple of years.
