This weekend was spent enjoying the weather and visiting Borough Market. Borough Market is a wholesale and retail food market in Southwark, Central London, England. It is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London, and sells a large variety of foods from all over the world

Amazing! This is surely the best food market in London. There may be equally good fruit and vegetables elsewhere, but not this wonderful choice of delectable English, Welsh, French and Italian cheeses; wild beef from Dartmoor; cider from the New Forest; organic meats and charcuterie; a French shop (foie gras, confit, saucisson sec… and wine), a German stall with genuine Frankfurters and Fleishwurst, and hot Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut to munch while continuing one’s exploration; poulty; fresh fish; a beer shop with an unbelievable selection of different bottled beers; a large range of wonderful looking (and tasting) breads and patisserie; chocolates; and sticky toffee pudding; and just over the road, the Monmouth coffee shop for a good cappuccino- what more could you want?
Paella anyone? One of my fav shops is called Brindisa and I bought some saffron, smoked paprika, anchovies, chickpeas,morcilla, chorizo, manchego. Lots of Spanish cooking will be taking place at home
Yummy oysters
buffalo mozzarella, aged black parma ham drizzled with a delicious extra virgin olive oil
A delightful non alcoholic apple mojito
Chargrilled squid with a delicious chilli dressing
Aged steak ,rosemary frites .A bottle or two of prosecco. We had a great day filled with lots and lots of nibbling followed by a delightful meal . There is nothing better than spending the day surrounded by wonderful produce with others who enjoy good food. . Now I 'm off to eat salad for the next few days,I think I have put on a few pounds. haha
What an amazing place, I have been to London many times but never there, I have put it on the list for next time we visit. Thank you for sharing.

I used to work right around the corner from Borough Market, I was so spoiled! Brindisa is the best for Spanish food in the UK! Oh, and those oysters...the bratwurst...I'm drooling...Chrissie x
