Eats: Pork pies and more London images

* Warning: Children might be disturbed by some images in this post. Parental guidance required. *


This is the famous Melton Mowbray pork pie. Melton Mowbray is a protected pork pie region in Leicestershire - only pork pies from that region can carry the "Melton Mowbray" name, like champange... ok, the analogy stops here. Hm, but "cheddar" isn't necessarily produced in Cheddar Gorge... I dunno.

Anyways, pork pies are like sausages encased in pastry. Not my favourite, but I was hungry in Borough Market, where I picked up duck's legs, a thick juicy sirloin, some cod, lotsa green leafy vegs, and a few bottles of olive oil as christmas presents.

Some more images from my foray to the market this morning:

You can't really see from the picture, but they are naked
and carrying musical instruments.

and has a politely placed drum at the right spot.
