Guinea Pig Hits Up Dallas Farmers Market

August 27th, 2008 · No Comments ·

I took a half-day off on my business trip and went to Dallas farmers’ market at downtown of Dallas. Dallas farmers market has a decent size, as you will see from the pictures. However, the market is located away from any major streets and does not attract the locals or the tourists regularly.

1-day pass, unlimited ride on the red and blue line. Everything is just a tiny bit cheaper than in New York.

Dallas downtown is rather empty comparing to New York City. I felt a little out of place with my backpack and camera haning on my wrist.

It was encouraging to know that I was going the right way!

Section 3, which sells produce. The market is well organized, just needs frequent visitors.

Tuna! I had my first tuna this week. Tuna has many seeds inside the soft shell and they are meant to be swallowed with the meat of the fruit. If tuna is ripe, the texture is a little slushy and has its own distinct sweet flavor. By the way, when picking a tuna, use a plastic bag because the skin of the fruit could cause itch.
