I was really intrigued by all of the fresh produce of mercado central and how many butchers were selling fresh meat. The market differed from street vendors because they were selling fresh produce while the street vendors mostly sell commercial products of jewelry- materialistic items. They are the same in the way I they try to attract people to their product and how it’s normal people just trying to make a living for themselves. The most unique thing I saw was the dead animals in the displays of butchers when they were cutting up the fresh meat. In my opinion I loved mercado central and it reminded me of a more rustic version of the farmers markets i’ve attended in northern virginia. I think the visit is important to this class because it shows us a raw vision of what farm to table is like and where our produce truly comes from.
