My husband and I recently went to Europe in June on an amazing trip. The last week of our trip we stopped in London to visit my sister-in-law and her family, we had a great time visiting and spending time in London. While we were there we went to Borough Market in Southwark, London.
I've been dying to go ever since I saw it on the Food Network and needless to say it exceeded my expectations! For those of you who aren't familiar with Borough Market, it is considered one of the largest farmer's markets in the world and in my opinion one of the most unique. It opened in 1851 and is the best wholesale fruit and vegetable market that I'd ever laid my eyes on! The market has a vast array of produce, rare meats, fine cheeses and wines, gourmet food and beautifully crafted sweet treats! A place where you could spend all day wondering and tasting everything it has to offer. We went on a Saturday and shopped for a BBQ we were having later that evening and treated ourselves to a few different lunch options. Everything was so fresh and simply delicious! It's a must do if you go to London!
Here are some of the pictures that I took while I was trying to soak it all up!

Raclette was fascinating to watch them make it. It is a Swiss meal made by melting the Raclette cheese and scraping off the sizzling melted cheese onto the top of hot boiled potatoes, pickled onions, and gherkins - yummy!
