lstmmrbls Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 That market looks fantastic!!. Nothing around here anything like it!! We have some nearby farmers markets a couple days each week but the selection is usually fairly small and seasonal. https://www.facebook.com/VallejoFarmersMarket. All the grocery store produce is flavorless. Being close to the Central Valley we are lucky enough to have some very large roadside produce stands, a few have gotten to be fairly good sized. This is the best and my favorite. http://www.yelp.com/biz/pedrick-produce-dixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Our farmers market is open two days a week for part of the year. Closes this month for the winter. I went there once this season. It was small and kind of made me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 But on a happy note, I picked up some yu choy from the Asian market around the corner. Last time my first bok choy. This time my first yu choy. Had never heard of yu choy before but now I've cooked and eaten some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I almost picked up some "rice vermicelli" which is so fine it apparently takes two minutes to prepare and doesn't appear to require boiling water. But I didn't. Maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 An Asian market around the corner. I'm not even going to tell you just how jealous I am. Never heard of the yu choy either. How does the yu compare to the bok? ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well, it doesn't taste so much like cabbage. I'm not sure what I would say it tasted like. Reminded me a little bit of asparagus but that might just have been the texture of the stalk. Someone online compared the taste to spinach. The stalk is more skinny and doesn't look like celery the way bok choy does. Edit: I just cooked some more of the yu choy and I notice now that the stalk does still resemble celery in places, but slender celery. Doesn't open up wide at the bottom. And all this is silly -- how much it looks like celery or doesn't -- since it doesn't taste like celery. ... but celery scares me, so that's maybe why I care about that part.

lstmmrbls Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I am very Jealous !! I would be there for hours and hours looking for odd food stuff. Like Bob I do not mind (and actually enjoy) sampling items I have never had before. Just wish I would have tried Sushi way before I finally did. I think it may be the best food on Earth.

Steph Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 No Bok Choy available today. So we try Baby Gai Choy. First bite tastes like grass. Then it's a little peppery. I think I like Bok Choy best but this could grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
