The pure market

I wrote it on my to-do-list a few months ago, because I visited this summer but had way to little time to spend, and never got over that o-so-frustrating-feeling of missing out on too many delicious things. Yesterday I got to make up for that because The Pure Market visited the Beatrixpark in Amsterdam again. What is better than spending your weekend strolling around gathering the best bits and bites, and enjoying them at home with friends and family? Right… Nothing!

Traveling Sunday market

The Pure Market (De Pure Markt) was once again stacked with all sorts of artisan food. The idea is that people who make the food, sell the food, which makes it fun to walk around and hear the stories behind the products. The Pure Market is a traveling Sunday market with a few set locations in Amsterdam and changing locations outside Amsterdam. I have only visited the Beatrixpark, a beautiful park, especially during this season with all the lovely fall leaves.

Dutch goat ‘kroket’

The day was made perfect by biting into a Dutch goat croquette, ‘kroket’ as we Dutch call it. Made from the meat and stock of Amsterdam dairy goats that have had a lovely, very Dutch, life. They also have a goat cheese version by the way, worth trying!
