The most exciting part of the Vic Market is easily the deli section. Before starting your weekly shop you have the opportunity to make a nuisance out of yourself, mooching around, trying as many cheeses, olives, cold meats, pickled goodies, and wines as you can without spending a penny. It's great.
Now, a word of warning; don't get too carried away. A morsel of Delice Du Calvados, a slice of preserved salmon, and a few garlic and chilli olives are really more than enough to get you started. From here head towards the Elizabeth and Victoria Streets entrance, and you will find a large crowd huddled around the tiny, Melbourne Bratwurst Shop.
Pay attention. Firstly pick a sausage: the mild bratwurst, the spicy bratwurst, or the weisswurst. Then add sauce and say a loud, clear ‘yes' to grated cheese, fried onion, and a monstrous serving of sauerkraut. Then sit opposite McDonalds in silence with your friends, only occasionally exchanging satisfied grunts and glare at the poor suckers eating fast food mere metres away from such magical Saxon goodness. Then do your shopping and see if you can fit a second in afterwards.
