This last weekend we went on a family outing to Borough Market. We wrapped up warm, took the backpack for Tom and braved the very chilly London temperatures to wander amongst heaven sent food stalls. Mulled wine, hot apple juice, warm cider - all helped warm the insides.

James, predictably went straight for the cheese stalls - there’s a stall dedicated to Comte and Comte alone! Whereas I went straight to the colourful fruit, veg and the amazing smells coming from the bread stalls. Just look at all these mushrooms!

We came home with enough food for a couple of weeks! Tom was quiet the whole time - enthralled by all the activity. we stopped for lunch at the fish restaurant for battered cod and chips - so British.  Followed by a coffee at the Monmouth stall - without doubt the best coffee in London !

Please direct me immediately to the Comté-only stall! Currently getting my fix in a deli on Northcote Road but looking to expand cheese horizons… Although it’s just not the same as buying it from a cross little mountain trader from the French border in Uzès’ Saturday market, though :-)
