Transcription:
Welcome to Limerick's Saturday morning Milk Market. It's got a massive variety of fresh produce and really delicious goods to try so let's go in and check it out.
So we're here in the Milk Market in Limerick with, what are your names, sorry.
I'm Teresa Storey and I'm Athina Storey.
Nice to meet you. What are you selling here today?
We sell jams, pickles, mustard, cordials, anything we can bottle and put in a jar.
Your business is called the Green Apron. And when did you get started?
My mom started back in 1977 and she ran it for years and years and when I moved home it was a nice small home-based business while I was having kids.
What are you selling here in the market?
Here in the market we're selling a variety of different meat products and fish products and seaweed, We've got a range of Irish salamis. We've got a beautiful range of pates, of fish and meat, We've got fresh sausages. We also do smoked fish, pickled fish, seaweed. That's pretty much it.
The seaweed really interests me. Is it popular? It is actually really popular. Yeah. The dilisk, like we have regulars who come in for it every week.
Really?
And get quite annoyed if we don't have any. And I try to send them to another place that has seaweed as well but they always come back and they want ours because apparently ours is better. And its cheaper.
Great. Did you hear that?
The market was originally set up in 1840s along with The Pig Market, The Potato Market, The Butter Market and this one was originally called The Corn Market because after the famine, they used a lot of the old linen mills to grind Indian corn for famine relief. And then the name was changed to The Milk Market and it's the only one of all of those that's survived the whole time. And it's getting ever more popular since they covered it over a couple of years ago. More and more people are coming to enjoy it and despite all the Tescos and shopping centres opening up, you can't really beat its personal charm.
My name is Sinead Ni Garvey.
Nice to meet you Sinead
What are you selling here?
I'm selling a selection of Irish farmhouse cheeses.
They look beautiful
So the Saint Ola goat's cheese is my own family's goat's cheese, an organic goat farm. And then I sell a selection of cows, goats and sheep cheeses. There's a bigger demand now for sheep than goats cheeses.
Oh right.
There's more cheesemakers per capita in Ireland now than there is in France. So we've become a real cheese nation. Farmers are getting better money for their milk than they are when they're selling to the dairy than the creamery.
So what are you selling here?
I'm selling all hand made produce. We have breads which we make with organic flour.
They look amazing
My husband makes all the breads. And then we have savouries. We have lots of pastries. We have sweet pastries. We have cakes. And everything is made from scratch at home in our family bakery.
Lovely.
What are you selling here?
Wood fired pizza.
Oh, it looks beautiful. I see the toppings are kind of unusual , aren't they?
Yeah, I do the standard ones as well. I do the buffalo mozeralla, tomato, basil, chorizo, mozarella. And then the carmelised onion based ones as well, Brie cheese, gorgonzola, goat's cheese.
Thanks very much for talking to us.
My pleasure
It's like being in India, its amazing. Really. Like Mumbai, the madness.
So now, its much better,
It's a beautiful market. Its very busy. The atmosphere is beautiful
Every colour, creed, race and social class and all that sort of stuff
Its fantastic. It's the best food market in the country.
