Fernando,
Yes, it's a good thing to go to Green City Market with an appetite. There are several samples to go around and most vendors and happy to allow taste tests!
Of course they also sell some concoction of chestnuts roasting on an open roaster... and covered in cinnamon...
We didn't try them this time but are planning to in the near future!
Thanks for your comment!

My favorite sample was the "vegetarian elk sausage" sample that Joel Espe gave me. Or, you know, just a toothpick :)
