A Visit to London's Borough Market
The grilled cheese man is still there - but in the green market rather than outside neals yard. Still smells lovely to walk past... I shop there every week for all my food too - we eat so well it's a never ending pleasure.
The shopping is also a pleasure - everyone is really helpful no matter what it is you want. Which is one of the multitude of ways it differs from the soulless joyless trudge of the supermarket. Although I have lots of favourites I still find new things to try as the market evolves. Just love it! http://practicallydaily.blogspot.com
A 'Burger Van' Hamburger Made of Quality Ingredients at Borough Market in London
Got to be said that the pork/stilton one is a better bet than the beef burger but then again, I'd say there are better things to buy from Borough. I love the place and shop there every week - even after 10 years I can still find new things to try. For more ideas http://practicallydaily.blogspot.com
Cooking from the Glossies: Green Lentil Salad with Hazelnut Vinaigrette
You are missing so much if you don't cook with lentils - they are fabulous things and, when not in use, sit quietly in the cupboard waiting for you to need them. Try cooking them like you but keep the bacon in the pan and then serve them hot in bowls topped with a poached egg for a really delicious and comforting supper. Or try this recipe for a warm spiced salad - truly yummy.

Enjoy!

I spend more than the UK equivalent of $30 a week, but I make lunches for us to take to work most days and factor in the money that saves into my budget. I shop at Borough Market in London which has the most fantastic produce. It is a joy to eat with such ingredients. We do eat meat but often the cheaper cuts and not every day. Also get lots of rice, beans, lentils, noodles, spices and herbs from Asian and Middle Eastern stores - cheaper by far than a supermarket.
I write a blog about it - http://practicallydaily.blogspot.com - it's an interesting way of keeping track of what I spend and what we eat and see how the patterns emerge.
