Wochenmarkt Volksdorf

I moved to Volksforf a few weeks ago. It's a district in the Wandsbek neighborhood in the northeast of Hamburg. Literally means "people's village" and it has a very lived-in feel where families thrive in a community. It's common to see teens in bikes to and from school, elderly carrying groceries, the middle aged folks sipping coffee at a cafe with a book or an iPad.

But last Saturday, people were on the streets, specifically all over the Wochenmarkt.  As a deprived foodie, I was just thrilled to know that a lot of the food I like is sold in Volksdorf either at supermarkets (more on that on a next post) or at the weekend market. 

This is where all the thundercats are at! 

The closest to fresh fish I can ever have unless I go to the infamous fish market of Hamburg at 5am.

Artisanal oils and spreads

Smoked fish. Just too many to choose from I think. 

But there's never enough cheese. I think I will die not trying all the cheese this world can offer. 

And spuds. Choose your potato! 

Cold cuts! 

And when I'm on a diet, this is where I will  buy my dried fruits and nuts to snack on. 

This time more cheese and olives! The closest to the Mediterranean I can ever get for now.

Of course there were flowers too, crepe stands, a cafe and so much more. It's got a Salcedo Market feel to it except it's authentic European. Mom and Tatay would have loved to shop here too.
