To Market, To Market

I love food.  It is what it is.  I'm a pretty picky eater, especially when it comes to green vegetables, but I will say that I have become a bit more adventurous as I've gotten to college.  When first signing up to study abroad, I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and try the local food.  There has been no better food in London than what I have eaten from Borough Market.  There's no other place I really want to eat right now.  I have had a few meals there now, all different things, and there is still so much that I want to try after walking through.  I could spend every pound I have in there and not even think twice about it. 

Just walking into the place is an experience.  The first time we went, it was during lunch time and you could hardly take a step.  It was unbelievably packed.  This is undoubtedly a product of the location of the market, but also of the great options you can get there.  I was in shock at what variety they had there.  EVERYTHING looked good.  There was pork, fish, burgers, steaks, ribs, salt beef, duck, chicken, and any other kind of meat you can think of.  They had any kind of fruits and veggies and any kind of cheese (the whole cheese wheels).  You want cheese cake? Cookies? You got it.  What do you want to drink?  You know they have everything when they will actually sell you ICED TEA. 

At the current moment, I have had a pork sandwich with some fancy name for lettuce and barbeque sauce, a salt beef sandwich, and a duck confit wrap (picture above).  I can without a doubt say that the duck confit wrap was one of the best things I have ever eaten, and I will have another one before we leave.  On top of that, I have had a piece of half-chocolate-half-regular cheesecake with a brownie crust.  I think I'll have another one of those as well. 

Unfortunately, there were no buskers out that day at the market, which is understandable because of the magnitude of the crowd.  Nonetheless, Borough Market, you have my heart.
