The Atwater market was in a really cool looking old building, it looks like it has been a market for the whole history of Montreal. Outside of the market were hundreds of stalls selling flowers, potted plants and other things that you would find in your garden. Inside it was completely different, it was pure fruit and vegetables. Most of the produce looked natural, unlike the produce I had come to recognise in the states. The peppers were strange shapes, the carrots were bent, the courgettes were of all shapes and sizes. None of the produce looked perfect but it looked real, it was much more enticing, I couldn't resist in buying some for the remainder of my stay. I got a couple of yellow courgettes, a couple of green ones, a couple of small artichokes as they were only $1, some onions, garlic and tomatoes. I bought enough to fill my bag. Not only did I have some bread and really pungent smoked herring, I now had a bag full of fresh vegetables. I was so thirsty from the saltiness and smokiness, I bought a litre of freshly pressed apple juice. It was so tasty, it tasted like I was eating apples, it was thick, full of flavour and not too sweet, only the natural sweetness of the apples used. I was happy, I had finally got my hands on some healthy ingredients for me to make what I chose.
