I love food. I love eating food, I love buying food, I love thinking about food and there’s no better place in London for food than Borough Market. Saturday, I finally ventured to the famous market to see what all the hype was about, and I was certainly blown away. Basically, every type of food imaginable was within the proximity of the market… and it was all delicious. The best part is that samples are abundant, so it is possible to get full without spending one pence! Of course that didn’t stop me from buying food, but I was astounded by the variety. I sampled a variety of different cheeses, fruits, and even tried a strawberry salsa. The most surprising thing to me was the stand that sold exotic burgers, with specialties including kangaroo meat and ostrich. Borough Market is definitely a must-see (well, taste) for anyone visiting London.
