our schomburg farmers market our local souk here in schaumburg if you've been following the channel
we like to go shopping for fresh produce and today we're with my mom in the schomburg soup let's go
this is like the main guy selling actual fruits and veggies here tomatoes five dollars a pound
and today we're gonna see how far our 200 dirham gets us in morocco we'd buy our weekly
fruits and vegetables for that let's see if we can get by today with that here
yeah for me yeah sure
thank you very much you bought some harissa this salsa
would be good i saw some strawberries here for five dollars
we made this in morocco yeah we like sun you're like those are sweet have you ever had sunchokes
mom i have never had sunshine really good should we buy something for the tagine
with beef could be a thing main difference here
these are already like cylindrical and easy to shave sometimes in morocco they'd be like
old ladies fingers and really hard to actually get the meat out of them
it pops up really nicely five dollars for 20 ounces 567 grams
should i get another one and try it round it up to
we have eight dollars left wow it's gonna be short silk video mom kept making us buy these jarred
things you know i came here for fruits and veggies and now she's buying jars my jar is good because
it's glass yeah but she this is her second trip to the farmer's market already today let's go check
that out she likes shooks i love suits she would love morocco popular thing at the moroccan souk is
honey and we're gonna check out the varieties they have here today something similar i saw
was orange blossom honey and some honey with the honeycomb in there so let's go look at it
in america honey often comes in a bear container if he takes a video and throw the product a little
bit oh what are you gonna do cool yeah you've never had a honey straw before no maple syrup
farm so our money is planted buckwheat wildflower those aren't planted and we plant in succession
bees are only making honey while something is in bloom okay we plant 30 acres of buckwheat
wait three and a half weeks planted again a weight plant plant plant and none of these bees
are fed sugar water right this is all that's what leona drinks huh it's for drinking something
yeah we spent a lot of time in morocco going to the markets they have the wild flowers
it was interesting to see the varieties of honey that were available locally here in illinois
usually this gentleman here this farm here they usually have about four or five tables full of
cucumbers tomatoes but it's still very early in the illinois season so we don't have any of that
yet looks like they have some apple cider some lettuce early crops asparagus that type of thing
one thing that surprised me was how popular succulents were i guess water is in high
demand strawberry rhubarb strawberry raspberry gooseberry cherry almond wisconsin berry which
means five different berries from wisconsin in the pie yeah let's just say where's the garlic scapes
yeah yeah they're coming they're coming so it's so tender right now you can eat it from tip to tip
it looks like uh spring onions yeah actually a lot of people think it's sweet
this part is kind of the meatier part okay so you use it like regular garlic
and then the roots you could cut them and save them for later to infuse your soups
with raw whole plant right now you can eat it and the other thing is if
it gets any older then it starts getting woody but right now it's the perfect time
for green garland okay we have our garlic powders over here cro more space across okay
crystal bay is old bay so it's coarse it's meant for seafood or for fish but we use it
in a tub of sour cream as a dip okay and a small piece of yourself how smoky is it
a teeny bit of smoke okay citrus straight across
i wind up using smoky citron on a pork chop i'm going to be putting this on the walleye tonight
it says smoky citrus salt he says the citrus really comes through
beautiful yeah those are so pretty look at this look at this one lion's mane
wow and where do you grow that there are about 19 000
now the farmers market is the best place to find quality meats i've never been to these farms but
they promise humanely raised animals which in this age of factory farming is what we want and
need in addition to the meat you could also find your seafood hopefully also sustainably coffee
i believe it's kind of a metaphor for the dinosaurs that are extinct and i believe
that is probably a native american because we know dinosaurs and people
didn't live at the same time i'm thinking that's what that means i'm not positive
this was located at the trickster art gallery here in schaumburg illinois
i have never visited but possibly for a future video i like the souk
in this day and age people want your credit card not your money and these two are more traditional
okay i love her tea i bought it before it's so good okay show the business you
have a business card um do you have any with you yes okay good cause then he'll
send you the video you'll see your video can i try hibiscus in love yes
i will taste that yeah thank you how are the individuals
that inside is the same quality of tea okay and i have the thrive okay this one has a meat okay okay
you said you want a tea right which do you want
everything is today
that's the sweetener
fancy yeah yeah wow i thought that was going to overflow
thank you
good this is so good exactly what i wanted and needed
some hibiscus that should be the motto of morocco it's always tea time some peach brown sugar
wow yeah it's just subtle taste now it's like a bottle of wine we don't flavor our carrot rolls
instead of a drum so the skin doesn't uh burn on the beat it's actually blown into a separate
chamber during the rolls process no no you don't get that finish that you get out of the way
but i find a little off-putting i'm surprised goat yeah i'm very surprised
let's make some goat tagine for stew goat beef glam peel everything tamales
here you can find all kinds of crepes both sweet and savory different batters toppings
and they cost up to 15 apiece here at the schomburg farmers market but that doesn't
stop the people from going there yeah so we're gonna get the meat for the tajin here
and because that's picky we're gonna get the beef beef cubes please or else we go with the
lamb perfect i'm gonna go grab those for you real quick thank you thank you just a pound
pound is good twenty four fifteen vegetables and stuff in it you know
did you like the farmer's market yeah i did it's a lot of stuff here a lot of variety
um interesting things that we usually don't see like dog treats over there
yeah and the tea is amazing let's grab a dog treat for ace and get out of here all right
andrea thought these look tasty for her poor andrea you know how do i know
pregnancy cravings i think he's like he likes bacon so maybe we'll get him a bacon bagel
sounds good oxtail chicken sweetener mmm those that rob the veggie burger
truck will be very disappointed no gun said the sugar did you leave your gun at home
so as usual i went way over budget i mean the seasoned salt and the birch sap water
alone cost twenty dollars and that left two dollars to basically get uh a dog biscuit
let's add it up really quick three dollar sunchokes 10.99 here 14 plus 8 22 plus 6 28
plus 5 33 plus 12 45 48 and 75 cents oh yeah i'll add that at the end of these what are these these
are a pound of walleye and they're approximately um i think it's 16 a pound so i got two pounds
but we'll feed uh four to six people so that's 64 all together plus the dog biscuit 64.75 let's not
forget the tea 70 75 the difference here is we got a lot of prepared products specialty unique
things i'm excited to try the birch sap water that's something i had seen on youtube and i
really wanted to try it it's produced in wisconsin which is cool and uh same with these they're grown
local in illinois it's exciting i love going to the farmers market today and the people
love to have enough they say come back next week tell us how you like the product so it's about
developing that relation with the sellers with the producers and i really enjoy that you saw a
lot of people you know it's also that community factors yeah i ran into some former co-workers
and this is new these um garlics and what i like is he said you can even use the roots you rinse
them off and freeze them put them in soup stews you can use they're very soft and you can even
use the green part of the garlic for seasoning so that was kind of fun they look so much like
onions but they're baby garlics so excited to try those next week they're going to have garlic
escapes so try those thank you for everyone for letting us film today and you for watching
