1,000 YEAR OLD FOOD MARKET! British Food Tour of Borough Market in LONDON

I hope that you had a good trip with us. Please remember to take all your open luggage with you and you will find the exit at the front of the train. Typical rainy windy day here in London. Is it weird I love weather like this? Anyway my first full day here and I thought I'd start off with some street food at one of the oldest markets in the world. Let's go. I'm here at the Borough Market which in some shape or form has been around for over a thousand years. I know this place is a little touristy but I also feel like it's one of those places you gotta visit when you're in London and right now I'm starving. It's got food. Let's go eat. There are a ton of food stalls here. The first thing I want since I am in London, let's get a meat pie. There's steak pie, bacon pie, chicken pie, vegan pie. We'll stay away from that. Piping hot gravy over mashed potatoes and this pie. My first meat pie in the UK. This thing apparently has everything in here. Beef, bacon, and pork. Wonderfully flaky crust. Man oh man. Oh this pie is ridiculously crusty. Oh my gosh that's a lot of filling. A lot of meat inside that pie crust. Okay this is gonna get really messy because I'm trying to do this with one hand but let's try this out. I totally just ruined the crust but let me just take a big old bite here. Wow that first bite. That's exactly what I need on a day like this. Crust, crunchy and flaky. This pie is just so immensely meaty. Mashed potatoes, wonderfully creamy. Maybe I shouldn't have started with this because this is a really substantial meal. This is such a rustic dish. Meat and potatoes and pie crush but if you want a hearty, meaty, make you feel good kind of dish, especially on a cold rainy day, you don't have to look further than this. I don't typically do this but I got the vegan version as well because this is the one that they won a bunch of awards for and I got it without the gravy so I can really taste the crust. It's carrots, tomatoes, onions, all sorts of other veggies and it's cooked in a red wine sauce. I think what makes this so good, at least a big part of it, is the buttery crust. I mean without the gravy dripping all over it, you can really tell how flaky and crispy and buttery the crust is. I don't know if you guys can hear the crunch but you can put most things inside this crust and it'll taste good. The filling, very tomatoey, very robust flavors. I think in terms of just pure flavor, this is better than the meat pie. I can't believe I'm saying that right now. And it has a lot to do with the gravy and sauce these veggies are cooked in. It's so thick and flavorful and fragrant. That wrapped in the crispy pie crust, I can see why this is a winner. I still wish there's some meat in here though. Oh my god, check it out. Roast hog and whoa. That's a whole roast hog. I can smell the spices cooking on the steam from here. This looks amazing. What I love about the market is there's so much free samples too. You get to try the food and they're cooking up sausages here. Oh thank you, thank you. That'd be great. Whoa, it's so charred on the outside. This is the pork wrap and oh there's a lot of spices in this. I see a bunch of cumin, coriander and the pork is just ridiculously juicy and tender. I can tell just by squeezing on my hands and as you saw they put a lot of pork in this wrap. Let's get a big old bite. I adore this. Wow. Oh man, this is perfect every single way. Where you've been all my life. Pork extremely, extremely tender and so, so juicy. I mean usually when you see a whole roast pig, what your biggest fear is that it's dry. Not this. I mean this pork is as moist as this country's weather and what's so incredibly genius of them is that they wrapped some greens around the meat which not only prevented it from making the wrap all soggy, it provides that needed crunch, that sweet veggie relief from all the fat from the pork. Every single bite, my mouth is just filled with the juice from the pork. Also there's some sort of apple sauce in here as well that gives it a little sweet, slightly tangy flavor. This thing, it's seemingly like a simple pork wrap but there's so much going on and that's all on top of the deliciously roasted juicy pork. Oh my gosh. Oh, speaking of wet and moist, oh let's get out of here. Oh geez. I'm not scared of the rain. I was just really trying to save the sandwich. Next thing I got, scotch egg. This thing got cold really quickly. Made with shrizzle sausages on the outside, a little salt and pepper. Nice coloring in the egg. It just looks a little dry. This is pretty good. Spicy, egg yolk's creamy. I think it'd be much better if it was piping hot. Love the spicy chorizo, love the crunch on the outside. Also don't sleep on the big goods in this market and this place is supposed to have amazing donuts. Oh this is gonna be awesome. Homemade jam and then the caramel please. I don't think I've been this excited about a donut for a long time. Honeycomb on this one. This is the jam, this is the caramel and this is the combo. I'm starting with the combo. Just from holding this in my hand I know this is gonna be a really airy donut. It feels so light. The cream inside tastes absolutely gorgeous. This one, you can taste the cinnamon, different types of spices. The cream is so cool and not overly milky and not overwhelming at all. It's almost like, it's almost refreshing. The donut, you can see how airy this is and I didn't even know there's something inside because the whole thing feels so incredibly light and that goes to show how light the cream is. It's like angels make this and it floated down from heaven. There's rum raisin inside this as well. This is filled with homemade jam and this one feels like it has a little weight to it. None of that angelic cream instead of this donut. Sweet and ting and fresh raspberry jam but I gotta say definitely not as good as the cream. The caramel. These are probably the only donuts in the world that the more you eat the lighter you become. The caramel cream inside. I just want someone to IV me up and pump this thing directly into my bloodstream. That's my favorite. So obviously guys if you are ever here this is a donut shop that you do not want to miss. Get it? Do not donut. I'm sorry it's all the sugar. This stall is serving duck confit. This is my duck sandwich and it is just overflowing. Never had a duck sandwich before but look how massive this thing is. There's some bones in here. The flavor is really good but it's a bit on the dry side. Let me try a bite from the middle. It's better. I like the chunny. Again the overall flavor is on point. Maybe if I got it in the beginning of the day it would have been better but right now a little dry. Kind of disappointing. I really had high hopes for this. I mean it looked really really good and I was really hoping for a greasy fatty bite of duck and just didn't happen here. I was smelling something super cheesy and look what I found. Is that not the most beautiful bubbles you have ever seen? Gotta eat this quick. This is far more cheese than the little reclub place I went to in Paris. Cheese with a rind over potatoes, salt and pepper and some pickles. That is creamy. Potatoes, gentle, slightly grilled flavor. I just want to be hugged by that cheese. Perfectly paired with the pickles. That just gets your mouth ready for another cheesy bite. Quality of this cheese too. Really fragrant, incredibly milky. Perfect amount of saltiness with these potatoes. This is actually a great balanced plate of food. Just when you think it's getting a little too cheesy, that was all possible, the pickles brings you right back. There's some bites where the cheese is a little toasty. God I love burnt cheese. There are also a lot of stalls here obviously for the famous salted beef sandwich but I already got a place in mind I need to go to for that so I'm not gonna have it here. I've been here about two hours now and I feel like I've been pretty much eating non-stop but how come I'm still so hungry? I feel like I haven't eaten anything. I mean normally this is a good problem to have but I spent a lot on food already. Also I love this market. There's tons of food stalls like fresh produce. I get that compared to other markets. It's pretty pricey but the food, most of what I had, extremely delicious. Especially that pork sandwich and that donut and I love the whole food vibe here. Seems like everybody is coming here for the sole purpose of eating and everyone I met from the people eating here to the vendors are super super nice. It's almost like having a big meal with extended family and that's the thing with food. It just makes you feel better, happier. It's the great uniter of people. And guys I'll list all the food stalls I went to in my description box below. Thank you all so much for watching. Until we eat again, see you later. Hi. It's 3 30 in the morning and extremely jet lagged and also I can't help but feel like today is just incomplete because I need that salt beef sandwich and I know exactly where to go for it. Yeah even at 3 30 in the morning. And here it is. Bagel shop over 100 years old, open 24 hours a day serving hot salt beef. This country definitely doesn't skimp on the meat in any of their sandwiches. Here it is. Bagel and a mountain of salted beef in the middle. A couple pieces of pickles, some mustard. This is better than I thought. Ridiculously juicy pastrami. Not overly salty at all. Perfectly seasoned. The pickles a little sweet and the crunchy texture really stand out when you're biting into this tender juicy piece of beef. That's the perfect combination of savory, sweet, a little bite from the mustard. Usually when I have a pastrami sandwich in the States, it's a little too salty for me. The beef, like I said, extremely tender and juicy. Also there are bits of fat mixed inside as well to give you that nice satisfying greasy bite. You got a good pickles and mustard. It's like the beautiful decorations on top of already majestic Christmas tree. Right now I'm really really thankful for one thing. I got a second one. I love how this beef is a mix of lean and fatty meat. And the fatty part, that's where the magic happens. That's the essence of the sandwich. Now I get to relive this beefy dream all over again. This is my beefy lullaby right here. See you later.
