Whenever I go to London with a fellow foodie, my first question is always "have you ever been to Borough Market?" If the answer is "no", all plans are aborted and we just have to go there immediately. On this occasion we decided to share everything so that we could try as much as possible within our budget and we came away with full tummies having spent less than £7.50 each. I'd go on a thursday or friday if you can as it's less busy so you get more chance to chat to the traders - I could wander round learning for hours! You'll find lots of fabulous bits and bobs to take home... new exciting ingredients, interesting breads, incredible brownies (I could go on...), but if you fancy eating as you go, the following three are my tried and tested favourites. Although I must point out... it was a tough competition and I expect I'll be writing again soon with more to add to my list!
Starter:
Seared Scallops in the shell with crispy bacon and a bean sprout and cabbage stir fry
£4.50 at Shell Seekers
Fresh, meaty in texture and truly decadent!
Main:
Confit duck roll with rocket and mustard
£5 - Le Marché du Quartier
A bit of a Meg Ryan moment from 'When Harry Met Sally' - need I say more?...
Pudding:
Goat's Milk Ice Cream: Apple pie + Blackforest Gateau
£5 (about that I think) at Greedy Goat
Incredible flavour combinations and a surprising lack of the feared 'goaty' taste
The caramelised cinnamon apple pieces were truly divine!
