Fast food is really coming along isn’t it? No, I don’t mean McDonalds and the like – as I’m sure you realise! I mean, when you go to this type of event, street entertainment, food and craft stalls, fireworks etc, the quality of the fare has really improved. We ate Burritos first – beef chilli with chorizo, guacamole, rice, black beans, tomato salsa, sour cream, cheese, salad and smoked chilli paste (phew!) and they were actually really good, everything was home made and tasty.

Later, we browsed the various food stalls and found huge stacks of salted fish and some very impressive meringues.

I was pleased to see a stall championing quinoa, which they had spelled keenwah, I assume to help people out a little with the pronunciation.

We rounded off our visit with a salt beef sandwich; a crusty white roll, packed full of tender salt beef and garnished with pickles and mustard. I think that most of the stall holders were Borough Market traders but I can’t be sure as I didn’t get a chance to ask. I’m keeping my eyes peeled for that salt beef stall on my next visit though.
