Ottawa's newest market, informally known as the 100 K market or the Lansdowne market, actually got going last summer. But it has absolutely taken off this year and quickly become my favorite spot to grocery shop. Best: apple cider doughnuts, free samples of Elk salami, lemongrass truffles, oniony Art-is-in hamburger buns, and killer hot sauce.Last week, I picked up a golden-crown melon, which has a thick yellow rind and subtle watermelon-like flesh. I also bought four injera sandwiches from True Food Ecosterre. The bread part is made from fermented teff (African cereal grain), which is spread with vegetarian or meat filling and then rolled up. The spicy variety is my most recent lunch obsession.
The Ottawa Farmer's Market is open Sundays at Landsdowne Park.

mmmmmmmmmmmm.... melon and mush.
i love them both.
I find the Landsdowne injera lady a bit haughty--but I will put up with it for some of those yummy treats.
Isn't there also that new market starting up or about to by St. Paul's university?
