Aix en Paella

Most markets have prepared foods that you can buy according to the number of portions you need. Simmering pans of choucroute garni and paella are available every week in our market in Ste. Foy. They scent the air on the street and make you feel hungry. Seasonal specialities are also offered. Currently eels are in season so we have lamproie a la bordelais bubbling away too. But in all of the markets we have visited and stared at the delicious looking foods, this paella in the market in Aix en Provence is my favorite. The entire surface is covered by large shrimp and dotted with mussels. Other photos of the market and our trip are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/petillant
