My lunch at Borough Market: a pork belly and applesauce “butty” and the biggest meringue I have ever seen in my life. I chose the butty because a) I had no idea what a “butty” was, but desperately wanted to order one, if only to giggle like a five-year-old when I said “butty,” and b) because it had the longest line of any stand in the market, which is usually a good sign. It was good good good good good…fatty, salty meat mixed with sweet, crunchy rinds and perfectly textured applesauce inside a soft, super-fresh roll.

I chose the meringue because it was described to me as being “squidgy” inside. And yep, that pretty much described it: the inside was hollowed out, and the walls were smeared with a sweet white pudding. Now bursting at the seams, I wandered off towards TopShop on Bond Street.
