This guy had a table of chanterelles--wild golden mushrooms, which he said were not cultivated. I had no idea that these "very French" mushrooms actually grew in South Carolina. We bought a pint for a very reasonable price of $6.
Another vendor had a booth of nothing but freshly-made gazpacho. He was offering tastings and when we tried it we both agreed that my gazpacho, using Joe's fresh garden veggies, is much better. Still, for people who do not know about gazpacho, it's a great, healthy food choice worth discovering.
This very cute Italian "truck" made by the Vespa company was selling homemade gelato in many exciting flavors. I don't typically eat gelato in the morning, but I enjoyed seeing the antique truck kitted out in such a capricious way.
The raptor ladies were there, demonstrating their rescued birds and seeking donations for their rehabilitation after accidents in the wild. This petite screech owl named Odin was so unbelievably small--he only weighed about 6 ounces--but looked as serious and unflappable as his much larger rehab mates.
Great to see a view of the market. Love the Ape!!
