Comments on: Borough Markets, London http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/08/27/borough-markets-london/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

And the gluten free brownies (down the same side aisle as the truffle stand) - YUM! Next time you are there make sure you try the Comte cheese and the Pâté Moi mushroom pate.

I stayed with my sister so I didn't look into London accommodation at all, sorry I couldn't help :( Perhaps tripadvisor could give some hotel advice? I usually look there before I book a place.

What a wonderful, informative site you have. Your London posts are relly helpful for me , as we will be visiting London in 2009. We will definitely go to the market and the tapas restaurant you suggested. Also, any suggestions regarding where to stay ? We are really confused about the areas that are best to book, for a family of 4.

And that day it seemed that half of London was there too! :lol: Hi Popeye-I was really impressed by the range of mushrooms there too! And the amount of chocolate...it's the stuff that dreams are made of! Hi SydneyGal-Definitely! I just wanted to eat, buy and cook it all :lol: Hi tian-There's definitely a lot of repetition in markets here. Some new stalls would definitely be welcome! Hi Mae-I don't blame you, I wish we had something like that here in Sydney. The only problem for me was deciding what to eat when there :lol: Hi Maria-I agree, and yes I had to restrain myself, it was hard though! :lol: Thanks so much :) Hi Kim-Yep I'm now sitting 24 hours away from London. In fact I think you might be closer than we are! I guess there's nothing quite like Borough :) Hi Y-It was indeed very hard getting your lips wrapped around the rolls, I guess one has to accept getting a faceful of flour :lol: Hi grace-It's hard to drag yourself out but sometimes you feel like you need to to get some breathing space. It gets crowded in there! Hi Uncle Hunty-I did see a definite emphasis on organic and low food miles. I wish I had the chance to try the scallops (too many delicious sounding things!) Lucky you, you sound like you have the ideal weekend day at Hackney markets planned! Maybe I'll get a chance to visit next time! Hi Sandie-It was fantastic, so many unusual ingredients that we just don't get here in Australia! I'd definitely recommend it, even for a couple of visits so you can get to try all the freshly cooked food for lunch :) Hi belle-Yep it's definitely different to here. Interestingly, the prices are not inexpensive as they're specialty suppliers whereas sometimes at markets here you can find bargains. I guess it's a different type of produce with most of them being artisans whereas here you can get people baking homemade cakes. On my last trip I went to Spitalfields and found all of these cute things but it started raining before I got to the food so we sat in a cafe instead :lol: Hi Sarah-Cool! Was it from the cheese stall in the picture? I love a good Reggiano, it's something I love just by itself too :) Hi Sharon-A trip to London is definitely not complete without a visit to Borough.

Including the best parmigianno reggiano ever! I could have eaten the whole block as is, no crackers necessary! Oh i LOVED borough markets, i bought way too many goodies from there.

The markets in the UK are so different to Oz, aren't they, with unusual (to us) produce and a more 'old' vibe. Spitalfields market is also good, with vintage stuff and a small foods section.
