Lately I’ve been a little truant about\u00a0visits to the Union Square Greenmarket: I’ve made dinners, on almost successive nights, using fish and meat not even produced inside our national<\/em> borders. Although not anathema, it’s something I normally try to avoid. \u00a0I do have some weak excuses however.<\/p>\n

On Monday it was Spanish sardines, and last night, Wednesday, normally a fish day for us, it was Quebec pork chops. I had wandered over to the Greenmarket around the middle of the day to pick up something with fins for dinner, but when I got there I learned that the ocean fisher people had not been able to make it that day, and that as a consequence, the freshwater guy had sold out early.<\/p>\n

Again, as on Monday, I thought of a pasta entr\u00e9e, but, again, as on Monday, it\u00a0was not to be. This time I was at Whole Foods Market, essentially to pick up milk, when I came across something new in the meat case, some very fine-looking organic, pork (“Raised in open barns with outdoor access<\/a>“) from a Quebec producer I had heard of. Largely because I had vegetables more suitable to a fish or meat dinner, I\u00a0decided once again that the pasta could wait.<\/p>\n
