Queen Vic Night Market

Went to the Queen Vic night market with Azuo after work. Left my phone at home, so it was the worst – we arranged to meet up like in the olden days – setting a time and place, and (shock, horror) it actually worked out ok! It’s a bad sign to feel so lost without a phone.

Night market was awesome; there were two aisles full of food stalls, ranging from Mauritian to seafood, Dutch pancakes, Thai, Indian, African, Bratwurst and a lot of Spanish! We had a plate of Spanish seafood stew and a mix of Indian vegetarian curries with pakora, roti and rice. They were both YUM! We spied some people drinking sangria, so naturally had a cup of that each as well. Interesting I thought that they sold white sangria, since I’d only ever seen the red wine version before. Next time I want to try the corn fritters and the couscous (everyone knows I do like couscous!).

There were also normal market stalls, selling different things to what you’d usually see on a typical market day. My theory was that the stall holders are cluey enough to realise that on a typical market day the crowd is mainly tourists (who want cheap tacky things) and the unemployed (who want cheap things). Some of the stalls at the night market included – fisherman pants, badges, witch mobiles that cackled when you clap under them (endless fun!), cocktails in a cask to name a few.

I am starting to think that the night market may need to be a weekly thing.
