In Cork, we settled in at our hostel and went to explore the English Market, which claims to be the oldest continuously running indoor market--unclear what the scope of that claim is. Maybe the whole world. Our highlight there was the local cheese. It turns out Ireland has a budding local foods movement, and Cork is the culinary capital. We went to a fancy vegetarian restaurant the next night, which had good plant matter, but Ireland is mostly pasture, so the real deal is the meats and cheeses. Anyway, different vendors at the English Market had a lot of beautiful displays of produce and spices and animal products and things. Here are some.    Co Cork, Ireland -- 7/7/2014
