Field notes
The guide uses a market-aisle structure: product entries sit alongside city-market listings and notes on arrivals from neighboring countries. Its product entries describe sale forms and practical details such as choosing and storage, while the market directory records dated changes, including a reported dispute over Mont-Bouët’s announced closing time. The page says names, dishes, and figures are checked and sourced, though the citations are not visible in the supplied excerpt.
