Market Pottering

No matter where I travel, I love to seek out food markets.  I just love being in them and watching all the activity.  The colours, smells and sounds are food for the soul.  And its even better if its a market someplace that has produce unlike anything you would ordinarily get in your home town.  And I guess that is one of the best bits; the fact that markets can be found all over the world from tiny villages to the largest cities.  Often there will be speciality markets too, such as seafood or even cheese.  What is great is that the produce on offer is more often than not locally grown and crafted.

So if you are lucky to have a kitchen on hand, you can be assured that you are getting great quality and flavours.






















One of my favourite markets is the Borough Market in London.  Not only does this market have fabulous produce for all over, its also a bustling marketplace choc full of activity with chefs demonstrating various recipes and entertainers busking.  Surrounding the market itself, are numerous outstanding restaurants and cafes, cheese shops, bakeries, and florists.  You won't go wanting here.  Its also located a short walk from the Thames and London Bridge.  So if you are visiting London, make this spot on of your 'must see' destinations!
