Al the Pal Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Gypsy Soul (the restaurant) has a stand at the Mosaic Farmers Market on Sundays. They sell mostly dips and spreads. Today they had pimento cheese spread, an onion dip, crab ramp dip, and a macaroni shrimp salad. The pimento cheese (which we bought last week) was probably the best I've had. And I've had a lot of pimento cheese in my years! Looking forward to trying the crab dip. (you can taste everything at the market. Its just my allergies are killing my taste buds when I'm outside so I can't really weigh in on the other items yet.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al the Pal Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Today the Gypsy Soul Farm stand was offering the pimento spread, onion dip, blackberry gazpacho, mushroom soup and oyster chowder as well as pork sandwiches and beignets. I got my usual, the pimento spread which is outrageously good. I've had the gazpacho before which is very refreshing. One day, I hope to try the sandwiches, but usually I arrive at the market just after breakfast and just don't feel like it. This stand is a great addition to the Mosaic Farmers Market, and a great opportunity to try some of the Gypsy Soul offerings. Chef Cooper was there as usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilaine Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 That pimento cheese made my eyes water. My husband, who is a chili pepper head, loves it. Not your mother's pimento cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al the Pal Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 That pimento cheese made my eyes water. My husband, who is a chili pepper head, loves it. Not your mother's pimento cheese. I buy the pimento cheese spread almost every week. This past week's version was a little spicier than usual. I loved it, but it definitely had a kick.

weezy Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 There doesn't seem to be a separate topic for the Mosaic District Farmer's Market, so I'll drop this here. I went to the Mosaic market this past Sunday for the first time, as I had stupidly forgotten to buy tomatoes while at the Falls Church market the day before. There are a great many more prepared foods available at Mosaic, and with free yoga on the plaza that ends soon after the market opens, so there is apparently quite a large street food wandering brunch that happens. Only a handful of farm stands, and the produce tends to run .50 to $1 more per pound at Mosaic than FC. There is a cheesemonger there who has several very interesting looking cheeses (I didn't get the name); the Falls Church market does not have its equal. I have too much cheese right now and will have to work down my supply so I can go back and get some of their wares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cheese is quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
