Borough Market Bliss

Who doesn't love being surrounded by the freshest-of-fresh food, visitors from all over the world, and food vendors who absolutely love what they do? Borough Market 'neath the London Bridge is always a fascinating gourmet destination with plenty of surprises in store.

When we stepped inside the bustling Green Market, our good buddy Luke enjoyed a tiny pretzel (that we all ended up sharing!), while we picked up Dutch cheeses, handmade French rabbit terrine and cheval with local venison (pigs trotters, roasted fennel and smoked garlic). Delicious!

Over in the Jubilee Market, Roger of Villanova carved us slim layers of Prosciutto Sardo di Desulo, and in the Middle Market butchers at the Ginger Pig sliced made-to-order veal chops just for our dinner. A glass of mulled wine, a study of ready-to-be-plucked-and-cooked birds, and a quick run to the Utobeer shop and Flour Station Bakery and we were on our way to cook and savor all night. What a wonderful feast to share with friends!

Here's my thought on the matter. Why settle for second best at the dinner table when Borough Market is just a train ride and a tasty afternoon away?
