Food Market
The food markets are an important part of the gastronomical experience. The food
markets sell everyday fresh produces as well as semi processed food. Sites like this provide
local as well as national food items. This site represents all the elements of food and identity.
As they provide fresh and organic food they are appealing to the senses of the spectators thus
fulfilling the Aestheticisation of the food and identity aspect (Aucoin and Fry 2015). The
products that they offer often include many items that are traditional and parts of age old
practiced recipes. They remind people of the age old times. Items like finger pepper, emu and
kangaroo meat are available in the Australian farmer markets. They are traditional authentic
ingredients of Australian cuisine and give the buyers a sense of authentic culinary experience.
In markets of Singapore, one can get fruits like Durian that cannot be found in many places.
Moreover, the setting is also like the old markets that add to the symbolization value.
