to market, to market

After our visit to the Design Museum, Jaye and I walked back along the Thames to Borough Market, London's oldest food market.

While there were numerous stands selling meat, fish, and bread, the produce stalls presented the best photo opportunities:

Even the most mundane veggies looked enticing:

And such amazing mushrooms:

I came away with sausages from the German Deli and a bag of granola from Mini Magoo's. We'll be buying Puffin Poo on our next visit!

    I defy anyone to read this post and not click on the Puffin Poo link! Was it tasty?

    I love that photo of tomatoes - but I am wondering what the black things are? Aubergines or some heritage variety of tomato?

    That looks amazing! I wish we had something like that around here--we have farmer's markets, but they aren't that impressive.

    It looks like the sort of place you could spend a whole day (and a wodge of money!). There's something about veggies in a basket - so much nicer than in plastic bags.

    I love Borough Market. It's years since we've been; we used to go on a Saturday and graze our lunch from all the stalls giving away free tastes!
