Fresh Food from Prahran Markets

What a lovely fresh food market at Prahran in Melbourne. Lots of lovely fresh and crispy food. Our heat in Queensland really knocks around our food. If it's grown fresh here it suffers from the heat and if it is transported here from other States, it suffers from the heat.

We didn't have a lot of time to spend there and it was really difficult to just rush past the cheese stall. I just love cheese........

 

Kohl rabi is a perennial vegetable and has a mild-flavoured taste.. It has the texture and crunch of a radish and something of the taste of a mild turnip, cauliflower or broccoli stem, making it a tasty addition to summer salads and stir-fries. It'sfrom the brassica family with the base of its stem swelled into a slightly turnipy globe. Great just to cut and eat raw.

I know this isn't a food but we don't see any Lily of the Vally in Queensland (again something to do with heat) and it smelled so sweet.

Multi coloured radishes. I rarely see the pink and white ones around here. I'd like to have been able to taste one as I find most radishes these days lack any decent flavour or heat. Often pithy inside and disappointing to eat as I remember how tasty and crunchy they were years ago.
