After our quick bite to eat it was off for a whistle stop tour of Gborg. The team Cooper was about to lose a member so it was the Aussies and a token Pole along for the ride to check out the sites in what looked like it would be a wet morning. So, I got in early and suggested we hit up the food hall Mr Cooper had told me about. I am ALWAYS excited about food markets. I wonder how efficient the Swedes can run food....

| Time to Get a Grip |
 |
| I don't know what it says but a nice way to write up the menu |
 |
| As you know, we love a market |
 |
| Let's tour the old Saluhallen |
 |
| There is a hustle and a bustle |
 |
| My crabs turned mutant! |
 |
| Fish, I like |
 |
| Salmon, to me, looks better in black and white |
 |
| Saft through it. |
 |
| Prawns are us. 119SEK, 45PLN, 17.80AUD, 13Euro, 18.90USD, 11.50GBP a kilo. Yum. |
 |
| Wildlife meats. |
 |
| I love Swedish thin bread tradition |
 |
| Merengue, always look better than they taste |
 |
| Sweet breads |
 |
| Snack attack |
 |
| Marzipan cups |
 |
| Lasagne with salad and a coffee for $10AUD, the place to eat in Gotenburg. Hence the crowd. |
 |
| Kid love |
 |
| Oh cheese, how I adore thee |
 |
| Mmmm more cheese |
 |
| It's quality, the sign says so. |
 |
| Kok bar, attracts the right type |
 |
| Kok and delicately |
 |
| Fish shops in Sweden smell sweet |
 |
| Makes a man wonder |
 |
| How great berries are. |
 |
| And how much more expensive they are in Sweden. 25SEK is 11PLN here in Poland we would pay between 4-10PLN per kilo of strawbs, a punnet of rasps is about 5PLN and for blueberries about 4PLN. You know where the bargains are! |
 |
| My favourite mushroom Chanterelle here at 68PLN/kg here is about 20PLN/kg!! |
So, we can see Sweden has some fantastic produce, yes it is more expensive in Sweden than Poland. To put it in context though their GDP per cap. is $47,934 and Poland's is $12,300 so comparatively speaking Sweden is a bargain compared to Poland in this case! Hmmm, tough choice of where to live now.....
