Romford Market

I shall use this post to show what this thousand-year-old market town is like in the gloomy days of winter. The celebrated market has been going three times a week for the past 750 yearsThe sprats in this picture are a local delicacy. Lightly dusted with flour and quickly fried in olive oil they are very tasty and very nutritious (full of omega 3 fatty acids)

  1. I can remember Romford market when it was a cattle market and that was a long time ago.

  2. Interesting to see your take on market and compare it with mine posted I think in 2008.

  3. It's funny to see it in daylight and full of people! I am usually there at midnight when it's empty except for clubbers and pubbers...

  4. I enjoyed enlarging these photos and looking at all the details. The flowers are a bit more expensive there than here...and I had no idea that people in England eat okra (a vegetable I abhor because it can be very slimey!)...here in the States we consider it a vegetable for Southern cuisine, like gumbo for example, a sort of soup from New Orleans.
