This food market in Salvador was the real deal. Lots of squawking birds being waved and bartered about, cuts of strange parts of meat I´ve never seen before sandwiched together and dominoes being played on the corner of dark alleyways filled with piles of discarded coconuts. It was the grittiest, most alive food market I´ve ever been to, worlds away from a Saturday morning stroll through Santa Barbara´s farmers market.
