Hi guys, I am officially addicted to London markets! I went to Brunswick Market last week and it was great (as you can see in my review.) So, I read about Duke of York Square Market and thought i'd have to give it a go. When I first got there I was amazed at how pretty and strangely romantic all the stalls looked. I had a look around and, once again, I was surprised at how much they had on offer - from spicy Jamaican stews to traditional cakes. It took me a while to decide what to eat and, after about 15 minutes of wandering around, I finally settled on a lamb and red wine pie from Timmy's Pies. It was great and tasted nothing like the "pies" they sell in the supermarkets which are basically pastry and a sliver of meat. This one was packed with filling of the best quality. My friend then decided to try a juice at a stall called Eden's Juice. At first I thought the juice was rather expensive so I didn't get one, but when I saw the quality and the amount of fruit that was going into the juices I was impressed and thought it was actually very good value for money. They had all sorts of combinations - from sweet, fruity juices to the more sober vegetable juices. My friend had the Bananarama (made with pineapple, orange and banana.) She couldn't stop laughing when she ordered it! Me being me i just HAD to try it! The result was fantastic. It had the smooth, creamy consistency of a smoothie due to the banana in it. It was so lovely, fruity and sweet that I couldn't believe that it was just fruit that went in, so I asked the lady working behind the stall to make another one so that I could see everything that went in to the juice. I opted for the Rejuvenator, to which I was informed is the most popular (pineapple, orange and strawberries). This time I saw all the ingredients going in - two whole oranges, a few slices of pineapple, a handful of bright strawberries and... nothing else! It was even better than the Bananarama and we ended up staying at Eden's Juice for ages whilst we tried nearly all of the juices on the menu! Well, we certainly got our 5-a-day! Duke of York's Square was am amazing day and I definitely recommend it to you all. Hope to see you there on Saturday and let me know what you think! Agnes x
