The Central Market

No trip to Budapest would be complete for us without a visit to the Central Market. A big place filled with lots of meat and veg vendors as well as a few places that sell spices (lots of paprika), honey, and tchotchkes.

Another visit to the Central Market

We needed a few spices to replenish supplies, so we headed back down to the Central Market (Nagy Vásárcsarnok) to see what we could find. Armed with a list of hungarian translations of the spices we needed, we bravely ventured forth.

The Central Market

The Central Market filled with good food and brightly colored packaging to delight the senses. There is also more saffron and paprika here than you can shake a stick at. You see in this bowl rather large bags of saffron selling for 450 Huf each. Just for reference, 300 Huf = $1.

Central Market

After reading about the Central Market, we had to make a visit. E took a shopping cart from the house where we are staying so we could get the good out of the visit. And we did.

Adelaide Central Market

Melbourne has the Queen Victoria Market...Adelaide has the Central Market. Given that Adelaide is about 1/4 the size of Melbourne, the Central Market is pretty large, but of course, it pales in comparison to the one in Melbourne.
