We went to Borough Market, bought coffee from Monmouth and swept lots of assorted items into the shopping bag to bring home.
There were many bottles of sauces with white spring truffles within, truffle salt, sea salt, hummus, beans, etc. We also wanted to buy some fresh greens and all for the friends. I was looking to grab a few bottles of chutneys and jams- fig, specifically. Lots of chutneys available. But I was told that figs weren't in season yet. They'd ripen mid-summer, in a couple of weeks. Oh well. There were other jams to choose from.
The man munched on chorizos, brownies and beans. He also gobbled down a pm pie, which was really a steak and kidney pie because it was the thing to eat in London. But the stall didn't have a warmer, so the pie was cold. Not very appetizing, frankly. Pies taste best piping hot. They had a pie named Heidi that looked good- goat's cheese, sweet potato, red onion and roasted garlic. Too bad I wasn't that hungry to eat a cold pie!
I loved this mushroom pâté from Pâté Moi. It was delicious! We bought a few tubs.
*happy sigh* Borough Market is such a cheerful place to roam around in.
