Tons of selection of fruits, meats, fish, cheeses, breads, sweets (waffles and other pastries) and…read moreolives. They also have clothes (coats, shirts, socks), bedding, toys, stamps, books and jewelry. I'd recommend at least one visit a month to this market. Some vendors are nicer than others. Some are more understanding of the language barrier than others. Just try your best to communicate and get adventurous trying new things.

This market takes place on, you guessed it, Sundays, in the town of Mons…read more I come here at least monthly not particulary to shop but to relax, have a coffee in one of the cafes (or a beer outside) and read a book for a while. I do shop too. My last trip, a few days ago, I ended up buying a couple kilos of tomatoes and also a kilo of mixed olives. There is just so much - every kind of vegetable and lots of fruits and the prices are often crazy cheap. Sure you can go to a supermarket but you'll pay more in most cases. For the best selection of fruits and vegetables, you have to get to the far end of the market, in Place Nervienne. Also there and along the way, you can find some food trucks for burgers, some for Asian food and my favorite (which is a big truck), one to buy whole cooked chickens along with cooked potatoes and paella and other delicious already-cooked stuff. Another favorite stop is the very large book stall. They're all in French but I collect Hemingway books in other languages, so nice to occasionally find one. If you don't see what you want, the guy working there will write it down and try to find it for you for next time. You can also buy different cheese on some stalls, all kinds of meats from a few different butchers and even some tacky junk for a euro or less. The atmosphere is great and it is just fun wandering around.

Ever had sweet potato waffle?! Me neither. Brilliant, right? I mean it's right there in our faces…read morebut we don't compute that maybe you can try to make waffles out of sweet potatoes! But at "Le Kalu" they did. And I have to thank the Afro-Caribbean's for that! I'm grateful for this find because it's rare to find a place where you sense that blood, sweats, tears and love! have been poured into it. I felt like I was inside the food truck, getting served by newly graduated cooks who were looking at me with eager eyes hoping I would love what they made for me. And it's a good feeling. It's a feeling that conveys, "you and your food are safe here". Now, I do feel like the presentation of the food took the food truck metaphor a bit too far. I prefer a bit more whimsical sight of my food, but that didn't make it any less delicious! Spicy, hot, fuego chicken wings: perfect during this fight against "The Disease No One Wants To Hear About Every Again". Not like I'm used to, but still good. And it's always a good idea to try out "not like I'm used to"-places!
