Easter Saturday market

It's not battered fish being fried, it's Crespells - or at least that's what they call them here, (although they have nothing to do with the traditional Crespell of Mallorca apart from the fact that they are eaten at Easter.)


What these Crespells consist of are (hairy) leaves from a green plant which grows locally down by the river, (a plant called Borraja, or Borage which is very good for your health), battered and deep fried in olive oil then eaten covered in honey. They are delicious.


More pasteles made by the ladies were Rollets and Casquetas which sold like hot cakes as the saying goes, despite being cold!


Other items on offer from the Amas de Casa in their market this morning were plants...

...home made soap...

...and home made nut wine.

There was a very good turnout and the funds of the Amas de Casa were boosted for another year.
