  - Eggs Galore

JASON has a great special on free range eggs at the moment - usually $3.00 for 6, now only $2.50. Usually $6 per dozen, now only $5 and a whole tray is $12.50.
 Just back again - JASON also has duck eggs - quantities are limited so you'll need to be here early on Saturday morning. I was lucky last week and bought the last 6. We really like poached duck eggs particularly served on top of MULLEEZ smoked salmon and then all topped with a teaspoon full of freshly made aioli and one of lumpfish caviar - a great brunch!! The duck eggs are a little richer than hen eggs. The shells are much harder so it can be a bit difficult to crack them open.

Deidre of WILD GAME sells giant fresh range eggs - she aptly calls them - Ouh-Aah-Aah Eggs.

Look out for goose eggs from JASON - coming soon.

Egg Fact - courtesy of Fremont Farms... Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than they do in a week if refrigerated.

 

- Smoked Eel - you can probably tell we're trying a lot of smoked fish at the moment. MULLEEZ smoked eel is so delicious. The pieces are moist and succulent - great on wholemeal toast or try on our La Cigale bagels instead of the usual smoked salmon on bagel.

Many of our La Cigale customers had made the Saturday French Style Farmers Market an important part of their Saturday morning routine. So you can imagine their delight when the Sunday market started! There is nothing more enjoyable on a Saturday or Sunday morning than to purchase freshly baked aromatic bread, a serving of Paella (which doesn’t always make it all the way home!), a selection a delicious French cheeses from the La Cigale Fromagerie and a number of other fabulous products and produce which make their way into your market bag.

It’s so lovely to be able to come to the market and talk to the producers and to know that the produce you have brought is fresh and absolutely delicious. Nothing beats the freshest fruit and vegetables, home butchery and face to face contact with the producers.

If you haven’t been to our market, you’re in for a real treat when you come and visit. Enjoy a steaming hot coffee from the La Cigale Café and then make your way through to the Market and wander your way around the bustling stalls gathering yummy products for a feast when you return home.
