Manchester hosts an incredible array of food markets with both local and international samplings. Manchester Fine Food market in St Anne’s Square features specialty foods like black pudding, smoked fish and regional ales. You can also find international flavors here throughout the year: German beer gardens and schnitzel, French cheeses, Irish breads on St. Patrick’s day, and Dutch stroopwafels (caramel biscuits) are just some of the treats to sample. Both held on the first Saturday of the month, the Fairly Traded Market and The Organic Market deliver just what it says on the tin, and the Manchester Arndale Market on High Street is open every day of the week, offering Japanese, Polish, Greek, Chinese and Indian fare. As you’re taste testing, keep an eye out for the rare-breed meats from Savin Hill Farm, along with Mrs. Kirkham’s Lancashire cheese, well worth writing home about!  « ausblenden
