In London, open markets are pretty popular. It's a combination of specially food stalls (hand made chocolate, cheese, dried meat, olives), ready to eat food similar to food trucks, fresh produce, clothing, hats, jewelry etc. Borough market is just food. I went there Saturday morning, the day before Windsor trip. I went to their website before I came and it seemed pretty easy to get there. I got out at London Bridge station. The direction says cross the street and you can't miss it. Well, I crossed the street and I didn't see the market. I actually saw the London Bridge. Not a bad way to be lost. I pulled out my blackberry and retrace the way to get back to the station and this time crossed the right street and found the market.
It's almost noon and my stomach was just growling from all the good smell from the food stalls. I picked Fallafel sandwich for lunch. Before I went, Beth told me that she bought giant meringue in the market. I don't like meringue because it's just too sweet, but I was going to take a picture and send it to her. There's no meringue, maybe they moved. Anyway, I saw Liquorice stall, yuck... Who eats that? British and Aussies, I guess.
Then, olives stall.
I'm not a big fan of olives but it's interesting to see so many varieties of olives. I'm sure I will came back soon. At the end, I found the place that sells paellas, cooked in a giant pan. I'll be back for more good food.
