Borough Market and Food 

Food in London is different, this does not mean it was bad or good, I found food that was on both side of the spectrum. I visited many of the markets around London and each was filled with so many different types of food it was very hard to choose what to eat every time I visited. Something that I found craving while traveling in London was pretzels, a snack that is well known in the US is a not very common food in the UK. Through my light looking through the markets I only found on place that sold soft pretzels. It was a dissert stand and visited multiple times for both the pretzels and disserts that were on sale. Through my experience in London, I also found a pizza place that had one of the best pizzas I have ever had in my life, I went back almost more than I visited any market. The pizza was made with sourdough something I have not had the opportunity to try beforehand. Like many people I also had to try the fish and chip at a pub, it was a surprise to me how big the proportions were. I was fond of it because I have grown up eating thing very similar and it reminded me of those times. However, the fish and chip I think is the dish that was the most closely related to the food that I am used to. I came across the normal burger meals but they all just tasted different than what I am used to. While on my food journey through London I tried several types of burgers, including a lamb burger and venison burger. Both topped with sauces that complimented the flavors, both amazing. The things that stood out the most was the disserts, everything was so amazing. I don’t mean that likely I tried so many disserts and found that it was one of my favorite things about London, the meals for the most part were good, but the disserts stood out from everything. Something that I didn’t think I was going to enjoy is how much people drink alcohol in London, I do not like beer but I found out I greatly enjoy ciders. And started exploring the many flavors and brands that were commonly sold at pubs and restaurants. The two that I came familiar with was Bulmers’ a crushed red berries and lime cider, and Old Mout Cider’s Berries and Cherries cider. I have to give London credit with their vast variety of food, ciders, and dissert it has become one of the best places for food exploration!
