Yeah, the Farmer's Market there is odd. The shops inside the Ferry Building are absolutely crap for vegetables (although the Oyster bar does good oysters, Prather Ranch meat is awesome, the mushroom store rocks and Sur La Table is positively dangerous for people who like shiny kitchen equipment). The market outside has one or two points of interest, but is very patchy. Mountain View farmers' market is way better, but is in the middle of the Silicon Valley wasteland. *Ahem*. Anyway. I do believe this is London-food, not SF-Food, so... on the subject of markets... ...what the hell happened to Borough Market? I tried going there on Saturday and it was just *impossible* to do anything much at all. Just lots and lots of doe-eyed idiots milling around taking photos and not really buying much of anything. Others have suggested that it started turning up in tourist guides, and has therefore become an "attraction" rather than a useful place to get food. <sad muppet face>There's stuff above here
