Borough Market, London
>> Saturday, 29 March 2008
Yesterday, we decided to visit the Borough Market which is located in the south east part of London. The market has been there for 20 centuries and they just celebrated their 250 years of trading. For more information, just visit the Borough Market's official website.
Its time for some photos.
All these fresh vegetables came directly from the farm. Ahhh fresh carrots, leek, cabbage, and so many more. Yummy!!
Now, that makes me feel otherwise!! I find it very different to sell rabbits like this perhaps they were trying to say fresh rabbits? Poor little bunnies. Try not to look at the details as you might see things from under the skin.
A fish stall. Saw many fresh fishes but they all look normal to me except for this one, the Monkfish. This type of fish basically swallows their whole prey this is why they have a big mouth.
"What if its not dead?" - quote, one of my friend =P hehe.
Wow..look at that shiny tomatoes and aubergines I mean eggplants errr...also known as brinjals. Many names huh? Those vegetables do look a little fake to eat but its great for photography.
Spotted this cheese stall, they were selling tonnes of cheeses. Probably a heaven for rats too. Are you one of them (those who were born in the year of rat :P ) So, as expected I went on and tried one of those cheeses before it gets too crowded. Don't think, just give it a try! Go on!
Ahh chocolates....they are my favourite! They have normal chocolates, dark chocolates and even the white ones. Wanted to try some of these truffles but there wasn't anyone there so let's just assume no testing!!! Anyway, let's move on.
Come on, stop drooling let's go.
To all tomatoes lovers, they only sell tomatoes. Ranging from tomato sauces to fresh little tomatoes. Red...red...very red...
United Kingdom really emphasizes a lot on recycling materials. Of course, reusing is better than recycling at least I hope its only for tasting cups and not toilet papers =P.
For those who like olives and artichokes, here you go. Sorry, these are not quite my liking.
Turkish delights! What are you waiting for?
They sell all sorts of nuts and chocolates too. Its about £1.79 for a hundred grams of any nuts. I tried the Macadamia coated with honey it tasted really good.
Arabic cuisine! It smells really good, perhaps I should be more adventurous enough to
try on new things.
Fruit juice! Bought 3 bottles of 100% fruit juice, pear, apple + beetroot and apple + cranberry. They really taste brilliant because its made of 100% hand selected farm fruits. Now, carrying a camera bag with these 3 heavy glass bottles (1 litre each) isn't really a good idea.
At last, its time for some food! Bratwurst (Brat - fine chopped meat and wurst - sausage) a German hotdog.
