Adderbury Community Food Market - Thursday, 14th May 2015

We're off to Adderbury Community Food Market for supper cooked by Smart Cookies Virginia and Di of their hot German Potato Salad with frankfurter, cabbage, gherkins and garlic bread and broad bean hummus and a vegetarian option.

It's hot which is just simply perfect for tonight for today has been cold and miserable and, of course, it's still spring which, as we all know can be cold.  The warm days are delicious but the cool days are oh so miserable.

So here we are, sitting on the balcony of The Institute eating supper and chatting to companions and looking down on the market below.  All the regular stallholders are here and three Guest Stallholders - Cats Brewing Company, Buzzy Bean Coffee and Winslow Pates and Terrines.

We sampled Foxdenton's Winslow Plum Gin with great pleasure - contact them at - nick@foxdentonestate.co.uk and a good long chat with Chris of Cats Brewing Company, hearing all about the barley and different hops they use for there individual beer.

Today, I've made a quick pate with Moore and Lyon's chicken livers, taking just 10 minutes to produce a smooth and very tasty pate just perfect on hot toasted homemade organic bread which we make at home

  It's delicious and gives me absolutely no problematic side-effects with regard to gluten;  I can now eat bread whenever I need to so we make several loaves each week.  I'll never absolutely know for certain but I was obviously affected either by any wheat, whatsoever, or the treatment given to the wheat to "improve it".

Do go for the organic option if you can and see if it helps you, like its helped me.

And I now only ever drink LactoFree Milk for its absence of lactose - the sugar element of milk - which used to make me feel so terribly sick and wretched!!!

We always chat to Jo Thompson of Once Bitten - contact - www.oncebittenltd.co.uk... and love her Organic Granola and everything else she does!!!

Tastebuds Cheese Board presented a really nice goats milk cheese - 

while Appletree Dairies gave me a taste of their Strawberry yogurt, so I took a pot home and enjoyed with my breakfast of homemade raisin and seed muesli ever since  -  which keeps me going all morning...

Other favourite regulars - The Meat Joint, Homemade in Oxfordshire by Maggie, Beany Podd for the vegetarian option, Bar King with their very popular drinks presentation and Monsoon Estates Coffee were there too - it was a very engaging market.

Happy marketing !!!
