Honest 2 Goodness - H2G

I love a good market... food... flea... vintage... I'm one of those people who could spend all day having a good nosey around at stuff... and I'm a regular to my local food markets... I believe in supporting local growers... I always try to buy Irish if the option is there... and in my opinion things just taste better... 

Every Saturday in Glasnevin the Honest 2 Goodness market is open from 9:30 till 4pm and everything in there is delicious... you can buy your breakfast lunch and dinner there, plus a pot of flowers to cheer yourself up! Plus there's a fab little cafe just beside it to sit down and enjoy your purchases! 

If you're an olive fan you'll get weak when you walk in the door.. stuffed with garlic and cheeses... the pesto is amazing and you can have a little taste of everything before you buy, so go hungry! 

For unusual things you might not find in your local supermarket ... you'll get it here and if not they'll happily try to get it for you! 

There's cronuts... and doughnuts... and chocolate... and cookies and all the bad stuff so don't go thinking you'll head home with just a head of lettuce and a tub of pesto!

There's cronuts... 

did I mention there were cronuts... 

In every conceivable flavour! I'll stop now...

an entire stand of oats to choose from...

I know I said I'd stop but I mean look!!! Dublin Cookies!!!

It's a real treasure trove for 'foodies' and normal folk like you and me... 

And... if you do the circuit the way I do (like the way I made that sound like exercise!) ... I head straight for the pesto stand then go clockwise... you've saved the best for last with Arun Bakery from Stoneybatter are sitting there on the way out the door! dear god... I bought the chilli bread for Sunday Brunch and the smell in the car home was just awesome! Sourdoughs, granary, good old fashioned batch... Their bread is amazing and you know my thinking... if you're going to eat something ... have the best you can.. it's quality over quantity for me... 

Baskets of bread rolls to tempt you on the way out the door... 

 Chilli bread!!! I mean I tell ya... you couldn't be up to them... 

The guy outside making stone baked pizzas is a bit awesome too but you didn't hear that from me! ahem... If you're in the area on a Saturday, check them out... You'll find them online >>> HERE <<<
