I actually relate to a lot of what you said. When I was younger, markets were places to go to get bargains, cheaper than retail or cheap imported stuff. Now I find, especially on the ready to eat hot food side of things, it's not a bargain at all. Last week there was a stall selling pretty average gozleme for $15 each. At my local not terribly cheap bakery I can get 2 for less than that price! It's crazy. I ended up buying an underwhelming pie and 3 (admittedly very tasty) sausage rolls and ended up with very little change from $30. $16 for a toasty is just outright fucking ridiculous!
