Borough market was one of the most intresting places we’ve visited so far during our time in London. While other markets have given us great opportunities to obtain custom items of clothing, foods from different cultures, and a vast number of intresting items, Borough Market almost feels best appreciated as a local. Between a number of different raw seafoods and meats the market is a chef’s paradise, making me very disappointed we don’t have kitchens. On that same note, the atmosphere draws you in with stalls of all different varieties, greatly decorated with varieties of sweets, pies, and cheeses.
Of My own accord, I partook in the purchase and consumption of one steak and blue cheese pie. It was a lovely pie and a pretty new experience but alas I had my hopes up for some phad thai my friend Elliot had said was at the market during his last visit. Unfortunately, there was no phad thai so my meat pie and I enjoyed a nice meal without the spicy, peanut delight of the thai noodle dish. Luckily, Elliot quickly made it up to me by sharing some truly lovely Turkish delight. In varieties of orange and lemon one can understand why Edmund would betray his family for such an amazing piece of candy.
Returning back to my dorm, I was annoyed to realize that I’d failed to take any pictures of Borough Market. On the flipside, today during a trip to Bath that will be referenced far more in a later post I had an amazing bowl of shawarma that I’ve attached a picture for here. Hopefully that suffices until the next update. Overall, Borough Market was phenomenal and, despite losing track of the group I was with many times, I’m very excited to go back before our departure.
