Yesterday we visited our second market as a group, Borough market. It was a series of winding paths lined with food stalls all generating such delicious smells, and I think I managed to pick just about the worst option possible. So I’ve never had curry before, and I thought London would be a great place to do so cause of how popular it is here, but boy did I make a mistake with it. I thought curry would have flavor, at least something, but I got a big bowl of the most bland tasting chicken and wet rice that I’ve ever had. It was not good, I would have rather ordered anything else at the market. I ended up throwing away well over half of it, so I would say my introduction to curry was bad, but I definitely want to give it another chance.
Thankfully the market experience was not completely ruined by my flavorless food, as some of us went to a fruit and juice stand that we had seen on tiktok. The stand was known for its strawberries, which you could get just in a cup or as a “chocolate pot” where they would cover the cup in hot chocolate from a fountain in the stall. Oh my god, it was so good. The strawberries were so fresh and cold, and the chocolate was warm chocolate, so who could complain. I cannot stress how good they were, I’m craving them now as I write this. I will be going back for more.
Anyways, to finish my time in Borough market, a handful of us went to a minigolf place / bar in order to play some minigolf. It was a really cool place, built in like some old tunnels or something that were painted with graffiti and lined with colorful led lights. It was really cool looking. Then the course itself was a lot of fun too, with its loopty loops and fun decorations. I haven’t minigolfed in a minute, but somehow I ended up winning by a couple points. After coming in fourth the other day bowling the win was definitely welcomed.
