The Rocks Markets - honey cinnamon cashews



If you happen to be in old-Sydney-town on a Friday, stroll down to The Rocks Markets and check out the area's culinary offerings in express stall form. Apart from being a great open air lunch alternative, it's also a great way to preview the local fare before committing to a full-blown dinner.


Whether you've opted for the Dare gozleme stall, wagyu burger a’la Pony or a Lowenbrau sausage dog, it's still best practice to bypass the nuts stand on your way out of the markets for something to nibble on.

Sitting under a sign that humbly reads 'Fresh Nuts' on the east side of The Rocks Markets is this unassuming stall selling everything from cherry-flavoured Turkish delight, to wasabi peas, to homemade fairy-floss candy strips.

Then there’s the roasted honey cinnamon cashews, a dish where sugar and spice and salt meet in perfect matrimony. Everything about this snack is good, from the crunch of the fresh roasted cashews, to the sweet honey-coating, to the depth added by the cinnamon, not to mention it 'technically' makes the health-food cut (please note that we here at glutton & nuts are fairly liberal in our nutritional assessments). Everyone knows that cinnamon is the natural friend of many foods, be it toast, smoothies, rice, or gum. Now, you can cross cashews off that list.
