Lunch at the Market

Yesterday my visits fell in perfect alignment for a quick lunch in Greenwich. I had to stop at Biscuit anyway to pick up my pottery (photos soon), and seeing as the Market and Biscuit are next-door-neighbours, it was just timely.

Soup and samosas!

I suppose this is one of the biggest perks of working in the Royal Borough of Greenwich; on very rare occassions I find my work bringing me to the fun areas (namely Greenwich Town Centre or Blackheath) where I can get yummy food and see nice things. Don’t get me wrong – there are a few (and I mean few) shops offering good food in Woolwich (the Caribbean restaurant on Powis Street, or Tasty’s the African shop), but beyond The Dial Arch, there’s nothing classy about Woolwich.

Which brings me back to the treat lunch in the Market. Delicious.

There were lentils and it was soup - 'nuff said.

  1. I recently bought a vegetarian cook book that was on sale at the mall for $2 and in this was a recipe
    for lentil soup which I have made a few times. I am not going vegetarian just trying to eat healthier
    and besides–it was two bucks.

    • It’s such a lovely place, isn’t it? I looked a studio flat but realised that the financial sacrifice I’d be making wasn’t worth the space in which I’d be living. Oh to figure out where my roots should be!

      So are you a Canadian expat, as the tweets on your blog would suggest?

      • Yeah, welcome to most properties in London. I am completely overpaying for my tiny, mouse-infested flat in Camden :\
        Have you lived here long?

        And no, not Canadian, just plain old British, but working for Canada Day London.

      • The one in Trafalgar square? Excellent! I was there last year. Poutine was just okay but I loved my face paint!!

        Ooooh Camden! Are you at least in a character-filled flat?!

  2. I love Greenwich Market and would feel quite charmed indeed to be able to visit there more often, especially at lunch time. Your soup looks yummy!
