Leicester Market

This afternoon went to Leicester Market with Vava and Asha. Leicester Market is supposed to be more than 800 years old and is considered the largest covered market in Europe. There is also a fish market nearby. One of my favourite things to do is to have fresh tender cocont (കരിക്ക് )......people around the place were looking at us curiously when we were having കരികിന്‍ വൈളളം and the real coconut inside (but ശര്‍ക്കര was missing) in very 'kerala style'....Also bought some ripe plantains.... Should be shopping from here more often. Local markets, anywhere in the world is similar.Doesn't matter its Kerala or England. The sellers trying to attract customers by yelling out last-minute offers.......
