Borough market. The place of indulgent calorie overload. You should go there.

I was so busy watching the semi-alive crayfish that when Warren "called me over" to look this massive fish in the eye (above), I failed to see his little set-up with the guy behind the counter. I also failed to notice the thick piece of string that was attached to the mouth of this fish. When I got right up to the eyeball of the fish above, guy behind counter yanked on the piece of string and the ugly fish, eyeballs, teeth and all, literally lept up into my face.

i screamed like a little girl and the entire market turned around to stare at me.

Warren thought it was hilarious. I didn't.

Things purchased at the market:
  • half a kg of prawns
  • quarter kg of baby octopus
  • half a kg of mussels
  • sundried tomato drizzle stuff
  • one tub of basil pesto
  • one tub of garlic stuffed olives
  • one tub of chili stuffed olives
  • chili olives
  • bundle of fresh lemongrass
  • chili peppers
  • salt beef, pickle and mustard sandwich (me)
  • duck confit and rocket ciabatta (Warra)
  • yogurt covered bananas
  • one big delicious cookie
  • fresh apple and cranberry juice
  • hot ginger, lemon and honey tea
  • two mugs of luxurious hot chocolate
Hop off at the London Bridge Station and you'll be right there. 
Go hungry and take along a small prison shank - it's super crowded.
