During a recent and immensely fun trip to London, I headed to Borough Market to see what a London Market really had to offer.  I mean, could it possibly stand up to Chicago's Green City Market?   Would it wow me with its fresh produce and draw me in with the wide variety of fresh cheeses?

Yes, it did all of the above - and more.  Borough Market is a must-stop place if you do cross the Atlantic to London.  This market goes beyond fresh produce, cheese, honey and the like and instead offers you prepared succulent dishes of goodness.  It offers an array of chocolate and other candies, cookies, with smells of paella emanating from a huge pan. It even has adjacent pubs for people who decide to wash it all down.  

While I opted for an Italian Parma of sorts, I realized quickly that I really missed the mark.  While walking, I nearly bumped right into "the line".   When you see a line, you know that is where you need to be.  I was so bummed as I got closer to the pot of gold - Mediterranean Fish Stew.   If you saw it, you would agree that it just appeared scrumptious.  I dropped the ball, by not whipping out my camera, but there were too many onlookers.

I highly recommend checking Borough Market out.

Below is the entrance to the market.  This market encompasses many streets and offers hundreds of food stalls.

For some reason I love this tomato cornucopia picture (below).  I just wanted to eat them all like apples, they looked so good!
