London Gastro Tour: Borough Market edit

The day was perfect and the company fantastic! We (The Nokia Food Bloggers) went on a tour of the Borough Market in London. The charming Celia Brooks Brown was our guide. To give you an idea of what we experienced, next follows an excerpt from Celia's website:

...Hear the extraordinary history of this ancient market and share an insider's view. We start the day with elevenses / brunch at the glorious ROAST restaurant perched above the market, then follow with lots of specially arranged tastings: scallops, rare breed meats, olive oils, Ceylon tea, exotic Mexican chillies, Italy's most prized Parmesan cheese, and many more, plus a chance to hear the stories behind the creation of these fabulous artisan foods. We'll sit down for a wine tasting at Bedale's accompanied by a spread of delicious French goodies, concluding with a tasting of simple tapas combinations at Brindisa Spanish Foods. Head over to her website to learn more about her gastrotours...

Now enjoy the photos, they were all taken with my new N95 8GB:

Enjoy and go to Peter Gordon’s like I mentioned and for a real treat try St. Johns Bread and wine for a great bacon sandwich!


Cheers,
Jeremy

Hey - you should have let us know you were in London!  Always keen for a little inter-continental foodblogger meet-up wink  Maybe next time.  Glad you enjoyed Borough Market though - isn’t it wonderful?

Well, you certainly can find everything in this oldest food market in London. Borough Market is a good place for food shoppingers.

I just absolutely adore the markets in London! (all of Europe really)  I wish we had more things like this here in my area of the USA.  There is nothing as enjoyable as the sights and smells of an open-air market smile  I am jealous!

Fui estrictamente educada en colegios y universidades catolicas, por lo que mi cuota de padrenuestros, avemarias, ayunos y vigilias estan hasta el tope. No me quejo para nada. He aprendido mucho sobre una cultura basada en la …
