Synopsis: The English Market, Ireland's most famous food emporium, has been serving the city of Cork since 1788. It has survived revolution, fire and famine, depression and boom, and changing tastes in food and retailing. Yet it remains what it always was: a food market and a bustling social hub of the city. This history traces the development of the market from its origins to the present day. Its eclectic mix of the traditional, such as tripe and drisheen, pig's heads and spiced beef, and the new, such as artisan cheeses, olives and spices, family-run stalls and personal service, all contribute to its unique appeal, which is celebrated widely, especially by visitors to the city. The story of the market is in many ways the story of Cork. Lavishly illustrated, Serving a City captures the tastes and colours of this central part of Cork life, past and present, and highlights the architecture, stallholders, customers and products. From offal to olives, it is a celebration of an essential part of the Cork experience.
