And the moment has arrived, the last visit of the plan that James and I had to visit every food stall at Norwich Market. This week was And Eat It, which we visited when we did this whole market thing in 2023. We visit the stalls in random order, it was rather chance that the two dessert type stands were at the end of our list.
There’s a tempting selection of cakes which are all clearly priced and well presented. It was all spotlessly clean as well, shiny glass and dry surfaces.
The selection of ‘brookies’, which are brownies in a cookie. The stall accepts cash and cards, with a small discount for purchasing three at a time. There’s been a small increase in price over the last two years, around 50p for each item, but that’s in line with all of the other stalls.
I don’t want to linger when referencing the service as the stall holder was talking to someone else they knew and so I did feel a little in the way. But, it is what it is, the stall has been going since 2011 so they’re clearly doing something right. And the stall holder smiled, made eye contact and served us promptly.
I went for the lemon meringue which was well presented and looked appetising. The base was a little drier than ideal, but there was a depth of flavour to the whole arrangement and the lemon punched through. And a little bit of meringue on just about any cold dessert is a good idea to add texture and taste. This cost £3.50 and I thought that it was reasonably priced.
James spent some time preparing his perfect photo composition and he was content with his fudge based sweet treat. We then had to have a long debate about who will be the winners of this whole round of market visits, but more on that soon.
As for this visit, I was trying to push for a little more engagement so I could have a final post of the year packed with positivity. But, the service was prompt, the stall had some tempting options and I enjoyed the sweet treat, so all was well.
