A Foodie’s Adventure: Exploring Borough Market

Come hungry. Leave very happy.

Ever since I heard about this market (it’s very well-reviewed), I have been dying to go! I don’t consider myself a foodie (I’m not cool enough for that title), but I definitely love food. Since I have no classes on Wednesday, a few of us decided to treat ourselves to a lengthy lunch at Borough Market!

Me and my friend Ashley from the States. My flatmate took this photo.

Cured Meats and Cheeses

Tried some of the best truffle cheese here!

Bread and Pastries

Food Stalls

Thai curries stewing in paella pans.

Thai coconut pancakes. They were surprisingly divine!

Assorted olives stand

A Scotch egg: a soft boiled egg surrounded by meat, then breaded and deep fried

Burgers made with sausage patties from Boston. Came all the way to the UK just to find more American goodies!

Fried potato dough

Fresh Produce

You can definitely buy fresh truffles from Italy here. The selection of produce is not as exotic is that in Harrod’s, but it is still fun to look around.

Fresh flowers

Red currants for sale

Specialty truffle stall in the produce section. It has the best truffle oil I ever had!

Fresh Seafood

Apparently, one of the best stalls in the Market! Almost all reviews point to this one stall!

Fresh squid

Fresh Meats

One of the most interesting stalls I have ever seen. It’s a hunting/gaming stall with freshly killed wild animals from Scotland. Pheasants and rabbits are seen hanging from the rafters. I guess this was what a stall looked like back then.
