Borough Market is a "Tip of the Tongue Museum" that has been telling stories since 1014. As a tourist, I broke into this fireworks paradise for Londoners with an empty stomach and full of curiosity!
🧀 First stop: Mushroom cheese rice, so rich that it’s soul-destroying!
As soon as I stepped into the market, I was attracted by a stall of steaming mushroom cheese rice. Golden rice coated with melted cheddar cheese, mixed with caramelized onions and pan-fried portobello mushrooms, every spoonful is like eating "cloud risotto"! The stall owner proudly said: "Our mushrooms come from a farm in Kent and are only supplied three days a week!" Sure enough, the milky aroma and the sweetness of the mushrooms exploded in the mouth, and even waiting in line in the cold wind became a worthwhile ritual.
🍋 Lavender lemon sparkling water, even breathing is romantic!
Walking through the crowd, a touch of lavender instantly catches your eye: lavender lemon sparkling water! Ice cubes and fresh lavender spikes float in the transparent glass, and the sourness of lemon collides with the floral aftertaste. The guy at the stall smiled and shared: "This is the English lavender that we grow ourselves, even the bees have been certified!" I took a sip and it had a refreshing taste that cooled my heart.
🍓 2.5 pounds of strawberries, sweeter than first love!
Turning the corner, I saw a basket of strawberries with a sign saying "Special Price Strawberries". The moment you bite it, the juice bursts out, and you can buy half a pound for 2.5 pounds.
