Food, Glorious Food

This is my last food entry… I promise…well, at least for a week or so.

Thursday I went to Borough Market for the first time. As soon as I stepped into the building – the orchestra in my head began to play the Oliver song “Food Glorious Food,” that is not a joke.

We are talking food stalls, plate stalls, farmers markets, fruit juices, “pies,” veggie burgers (amazing), sandwiches, CHEESE (everywhere), bread, cookies, chocolate truffles…I mean this is basically the universe saying “here Lauren, are all of your favorite things, in one places, only 10 minutes from your school.” Thanks universe! The mix of market stalls and take-away stalls, unprepared and prepared goods is ideal and it is a lot of fun to walk around.

It is also really nice to see local farmers with produce, meat products, fish products and dairy products. It’s like Carrboro Farmers Market on crack. AND not only is the food delicious, but it also occupies a historic spot on the river Thames, and has been there for 250 years! Borough Market – Yummy and historical. So London.

In all of my free time, I plan to go to this market a lot. And to lots of different museums. How exciting! What else is a girl to do with only 8 hours of class a week! Honestly, I don’t know how I lived without this market and all that its glory entails. To see how wonderful it is for yourself just LOOK at this website: http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/.

With love and good eats,

Lauren
