I'd LOVE to have some of that paella! And seafood would be my choice, too (after God's gotten his serving, of course). What other delights does the Norwich Market have?
Ms.M: Norwich market is a labyrinthine maze; a cornucopia of delights. It is a huge bazaar that has occupied the centre of the city for a thousand years and now its tentacles reach out through the streets at weekends as it spawns mini-me clones from the Forum to Tombland, each with a different international character. During the week it occupies a great square between the Castle and City Hall and there you can find the best seafood, fruit and veg in the city, together with mounds of spices, streets of hot food stalls and an acre of curiously tempting tat, from clothing to bookshops, cobblers to tailors, and weird delis from places such as China, Hungary and Portugal. There are always buskers (like London, Norwich insists on auditioning and licensing it's street musicians and you are guaranteed superb quality music, be it opera, jazz, string quartets, brass bands or our own fat, bearded Celtic harpist). The market gives the city a heartbeat and I love the place.

It sounds wonderful and I love the historical aspect.
Ms. M, very funny! God has a voracious appetite, you know.
God is indeed a real seafood pig, Petrea. Don't let Him near your loaves and fishes.
Are you the hand of god? I would vote for the seafood as well!
No, Neetzy, I was behind the camera. It was God Himself pointing at the seafood paella. Either that or He was creating it; it's hard to tell.
Now that's what I call a paella pan. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. What wine would go good with seafood paella?
Pinot grigio or maybe Gewurztraminer for me, Mark. And in a glass big enough to match that pan. Yay!
Gosh, paella is something that we never see down here. I guess that we don't have enough Spanish migrants.
Sure looks good!
I think it's high time you remedied that lack of paella by making it for dinner, Mme.
