Cucidati Where To Buy

= culture = common sense

After three days locked up at home (and cause reffreddore febbricciattola that took both),

this morning (also because of a beautiful sun and the turquoise sky) we decided to go in the early afternoon to a market which had seen an advertisement in the local newspaper in Cambridge.

The market in question attracted us mainly because it was advertised with the slogan "The Cambridge food, organic produce and garden festival and our first comments were:

" From the dungeon It has all seemed to be a market for local organic produce, we must go and see, maybe there's decent food, meet local producers maybe, maybe ... "

....... Maybe indeed. Maybe we find the very best way to express the result of our experience, maybe in another life in another place and another time!

Well the market was a real trash, the organic was the only ' grass of the park where the event was.

stalls sell everything from candy to cupcakes Lebanese (why?), the marshmallow covered with chocolate to wine flavored with ginger, pineapple and cranberry, to a number of other things with food and organic had nothing to do. Above all, what shocked us most is that the stalls were selling things that you could easily buy at the supermarket, all industrially produced stuff and you could see a mile away. Stunned by this strange and absurd market we returned to our lodgings speechless, baffled by the complete lack of culture, history and even common sense about food and nutrition. Ok fine that England has never been famous for good food, steps that have eaten fish and chips for a living, but they get to papering the entire city of advertising for a local agricultural market that really had nothing I sembra assurdo.. A Londra per esempio è tutta un'altra storia, i mercati hanno dei "consigli d'amministrazione" che vigilano sulla qualità e sull'offerta delle singole bancarelle.. Ma forse l'unica lezione da imparare è che Londra è un'altra storia, che non ha veramente niente a che vedere con il resto del Regno Unito e che il melting pot ha portato un arricchimento e una cultura, anche alimentare, che nel resto del paese si sognano. Questa è stata la nostra prima esperienza con i mercatini della zona, vedremo in seguito.. Però una cosa la vorrei dire: da noi un ambiente culturalmente vivo si riflette anche nei ristoranti presenti in zona e in una generale cultura del cibo che qui invece non esiste. Nessuno vedrà mai un professore di Bologna (o almeno lo spero!) con il sacchetto del Mc Donald's in mano, ma qui è più che normale che un professorone di Cambridge non conosca altri posti dove andare a pranzo. E scusatemi ma secondo me c'è una bella differenza.
