New Tenerife video
By Joe | April 19, 2009
Joy is talking about cucumbers, fish and cow flesh on our new Sky Travel video
We were supposed to be showing how cheap it is to shop at local markets, but half the buggers weren’t open when we got there. Twice we went to Las Galletas to try and catch the fish market fully open. Both times there were just two stalls open selling bags of whelks or something similar, and a nasty looking fish with sharp teeth, beady eyes and extremely scaly skin. Reminded me of an ex-girlfriend.
We also paid a visit to the teeny-tiny butcher’s in Guia de Isora, a dark, corner shop that has always held intrigue every time we passed. We always wondered why it looked so clean. Cause no damn bleeder ever goes in! Reason? Just like the old Monty Python cheese sketch, they don’t actually sell any meat. Well, not on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday anyway.
The butcher was in, his door was open, but there was no meat at home. He was ‘preparing it’ for Thursday, was the reply we got when we asked him for two slabs of fillet steak. Well why open the doors then!?*
Anyways, take a look at the video. The new Adeje farmer’s market was good. And they have a bouncy castle! Wouldn’t let me on though. Bastards.
