People and Food, Food and People

Yesterday, we journeyed to Borough Market for lunch. We’ve been to a few markets at this point, so it’s recognizably an important part of London’s social life. I honestly prefer the markets to what we have back home because you have so many different options to pick from. One day you would be eating street tacos, and the next you could be enjoying a British meat pie if that’s more your fancy. I personally was leaning between a bowl of fresh pasta and ramen. I ended up getting this really good spinach and cheese stuffed ravioli with pesto sauce, and it was some of the best pasta I’ve ever had.

I think what makes the market so great is that while there are so many different food options, each booth has their own specialty, so it doesn’t matter what you get. It will all be great food prepared by local vendors.

As much as I enjoyed my meal and the cookie I devoured afterwards, Borough Market was my least favorite we’ve been to so far simply because it wasn’t as organized as say Spitalfields Market, and the bathrooms were extremely difficult to find. I think we went on a wild goose chase for the toilets for about 30 minutes before we finally found them. There were also SO MANY PEOPLE. It was loud, crowded, and smelly (not smelly in a bad way, smelly as in a lot of different smells crashing for your attention). Ryan and I were feeling overwhelmed, so we decided to take the tube home early where I took an amazing 3 hour long nap.

This trip is definitely taking its toll on me, but I’m still trucking along, even if it means taking a few more naps along the way.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next time ❤
