Well I discovered this weekend (well re-affirmed my belief) that I’m a real foodie and London is helping to foster this relationship even more. Yesterday I ventured off on my own to the Borough Market-which is known as one of the largest food markets in London selling a wide variety of foods. They had everything from great fruit & veggie stands to kangaroo and ostrich burgers! And of course a plethora of samples which I absolutely loved just tasting & trying different things. My taste buds have never been so happy since being here.
I finally realized I should maybe buy some lunch instead of just mooching off food from the different vendors...so I finally found this wonderful freshly made veggie burger on a whole-wheat bun to try and it was divine! Best veggie burger I have ever had (even tops the Counters which is saying a lot for me)
Then that night we went over to these BYU grads flat to watch the big bball game & see BYU beat SDSU! Such a great game & so fun to watch Jimmer play (even all the way across the pond) So of course after we had to have a celebratory dinner. And it was fun hanging out with guys who live here and know the hot spots. We went to Brick Lane which is the heart of the city's Bangladesh community and famous for their Indian food.
People were hassling us to come into their place so we finally chose a place that gave us a good deal. We had yummy naan & tried different curries! It was right up this food lovers ally-getting to share and try a little bit of everything. I love how eating here is such a cultural experience here & a nice way to just sit down & talk. We stayed at the restaurant till like midnight so since the tube was closed we took the double decker buses home but it was a fun adventure & let's just say great people watching at that time of night too!
Sounds so fun! Where is that borough market? And Sam and I are jealous you got to watch the game! We were checking ESPN regularly to see updates, but the website Sam used to watch the games before, got shut down! So sad. hehe
