Last Saturday I brought Jon to check out Borough Market - a foodie market located near the London Bridge tube station.
There's plenty of specialty food stores selling cheese, sandwiches, burgers, cheese, chocolates, salami, jams, more cheese, cakes, organix produce, and still more cheese. It can get really crowded at lunch time with people looking for a quick and yummy bite. 
There was this stall selling melted cheese sandwiches, and it was really interesting how they got their melted cheese. Ordinarily you would think they'd spinkle cheese on bread and then melt it in a toaster. Here, they put the cheese under a hot metal heater which melts the surface of the cheese. Then when enough cheese is melted, they simply scrape off the cheese onto the bread! How interesting!
See the cheese melter at the bottom right hand corner?
Check out the pig's heads! One is drawn and one is real! I'm sure you could tell..
After watching the Arsenal-Man U match with Shan & Ben (where Arsenal won! much to quack's great delight ;) ), we went back to Borough market for lunch. Jon & I shared an excellent fish & chips! And Shan introduced us to a wonderful brownie - super chocolately! I must have it again another day :)
Some funny banners we saw:
