    I had hoped to have some good background on this decades-old Frenchtown market but I'm coming up…read moreshort right now. I'd encourage anyone with insights on the history of this store to contribute. I do know, from the folks behind the counter these days, that it's been around for "over forty years" - I suspect it's well over that; my sense is that it's probably from the late forties/early fifties judging from its current layout/amenities. What has intrigued me for quite some time is the signage and its old-time font/coloration/layout. Having come three times over that past two weeks, I can say that this would be where I'd come if I were seeking out "the good stuff" for making up meals focused on commensality. Commensality is a good word that I learned recently. There's a great book ("Commensality: From Everyday Food to Feast") that delves into this important social act - one that I fear we experience less and less. Check it out. I associate the Fourth Avenue Super Market with commensality because the produce and the butcher-counter are chockful of items that simply aren't made for a single person - perhaps not even for a single family. Take, for example, the "Soul Bag". I'm not entirely certain what offal, cuts or livestock byproducts are within it - but I suspect that it contains the central cast of characters for a centerpiece dish for a large gathering of gourmands and gourmets alike. You don't buy the Soul Bag to take it back home and serve up two portions. At least, I wouldn't. Perhaps I'm overly romanticizing this store - that's quite possible. I fear that with the rapidly encroaching gentrification of Frenchtown, the Fourth Avenue Super Market risks being swept away within the coming decade to make way for something brighter and shinier. I hope that isn't the case - and that it continues to exist as it does today. If you love Tallahassee and history in general, I'd encourage you to come here at least once, if only to pick up a cold drink in the back coolers. Come on in and walk the aisles - and take yourself back in time.

    Fourth Av Super Market - Country store fare - in the thick of TLH.  Nether's salt-fried pork skins available here.
