A few days before Christmas, DH and I took DD2 to the Reading Terminal in Philadelphia. This is an historic place where vendors have counters and kiosks to sell the most wonderful foods, flowers and products from all over the region. It is like a visit to a Global market - we bought steak from a German butcher for our Christmas Eve dinner, seafood from an Oriental purveyor, bread from the Metropolitan Bakery, poultry from Pennsylvania Dutch, and pignoli cookies from a wonderful Italian bakery called Termini Brothers. I also found a rich, pungent cinnamon in a little gourmet shop. What a wonderful time we had.
Is there a special regional market in the Raleigh/Chapel Hill area to buy local foods and favorites such as local baked goods, jams & honey or meat & poultry from a local butcher?
I have heard of Southern Season and Foster's Market, but I don't know (yet
)if they have that old time Farmer's Market feeling to them.
I'm especially interested in a place that holds much tradition and memories for people of the Triangle area. Thanks very much!
