Upon entering (the Borough Market), I was initially shocked by the massive amount of venders inside. The counters were filled with bright red meats, enormous cheese wheels, and a beautiful assortment of fruits and vegetables. Borough Market is the closest thing to Heaven for a foodie like me.
We wandered to the opposite side of the market where vendors were preparing all sorts of dishes. We made a full sweep around that entire area to explore all of our lunch options. However, my decision was made easier by my cousin, who recommended that I get the grilled cheese sandwich. I decided to split the sandwich with a friend, so I only spent £3 on my lunch. We all chose our lunch and gathered in an area, that resembled a greenhouse, to enjoy it. Finally, I bought a chocolate chip cookie to satisfy my everlasting sweet tooth. Because the cookie was literally the size of my head, I split that with a friend as well, costing me only £1.
All together, my roughly 3-hour food excursion cost me £7.50. Although I could have stayed much longer and spent much more money, my first experience to Borough Market was an absolute success. The large array of options offered a new experience by exposing me to food I had never seen before. Being someone that loves to cook, the market sparked my imagination for recipes I want to try when I get back to the US. Borough Market not only filled my belly with delicious food, but also satisfied my desire to experience local London food while here for the summer. ~Lindsay
