Over the weekend I had the sheer pleasure of mooching around a market in London, Borough market to be exact.
It was such an amazing place. It was a fresh food market, full of smells and nostalgia. Everything looked so fresh and delicious. There was fresh food being stirred up in front of your eyes and lines and lines of people, queuing up for a taste of the delights. Pulled pork, vegetarian curries, coriander and lamb kebabs, falafel, german sausages, there was nothing you couldn't find here.
The colours were vibrant and bright, the range went from green basil to red tomoatoes to orange clementines to black olives. There were indian spices, turkish delights, asian teas and italian meats.
There was world food to meet your every desire.
And what did we buy??
Absolutely nothing.
We didnt need to, we just soaked it all up and breathed in all the diversity.
I hope these markets thrive forever, so fresh, so healthy and so much choice.
I really intend to shift my habits to doing more of my weekly shops at markets. Do you do this? Why do you and why don't you? Do you have one near you?
I can still just close my eyes and see everything! Such a sensual experience.
