Neera Knows Food

I had never been to Borough Market in London, so I decided to give it a try. It's definitely a place better done with friends to be able to try a lot of different foods, but I still enjoyed browsing and tasting some samples. I saw the Ginger Pig first, so I had to try their famous sausage roll. It was very good for a sausage roll but sausage is just not in my top favorite meats. It would have been great to share with 3-4 other people because I was stuffed after that one lol. Next I tried some mulled wine because it was freezing, and sampled the paella stand. It's a huge serving when you buy it which I unfortunately was not going to be able to eat. Then I tried a single scallop at Shell Seekers which actually came with a few pieces including shrimp. Then back to the warm drinks when I spotted a warm Aperol spritz. I was hesitant, but it was really good! After that I walked outside the main market and spotted the place that's famous for wild mushroom risotto and tried a sample. I walked around some more, and then decided to head over to Notting Hill for some shopping. All in all a fun experience - there are many food markets throughout London that's I would love to visit, but I would come back to this one to try more! I bet it's fun if you're local with fresh meats, cheeses and flowers.

Recently dropped my daughter in London for a semester abroad. Stayed in SOHO and had daily cappuccinos at this cute little cafe attached to the same building as my hotel. Great French cafe with an Indian design flair combined with a super friendly staff.

Nina and I tried a new breakfast place last week called for a little pick me up before shopping. The have round and regular stuffed croissants in chocolate, pistachio, and vanilla as well as other pastries and breakfast sandwich choices. We split a chocolate round croissant and I had a cappuccino and Nina had an iced strawberry matcha latte. Like everywhere lately it is pretty pricey - but a nice treat! They close at 3:16 just like their name 😃
