The seafood. The wobbly seafood. Yes. This is Burough Market, the most famous place to eat in London, where you'll find a mindblowing array of London's tastiest street food. But with massive crowds and an insane amount of choices, it can be overwhelming to navigate, and it's way too easy to miss the best food gems. Guys, WE'VE GOT IRAQI DOLMA. SO, in this video, I'm spending 7 hours straight eating at Burough Market to show you all the top foods you have to try, including a few spots that completely blew me away. But first, it's going to be a long day. We have a lot of food to eat. I'm in desperate need of some caffeine, and I can smell it right here.

Okay. And so, today's filter is El Salvador. went with the filter coffee. It's in El Salvador. Oh, yeah. That's good. Oh, need caffeine immediately in the morning. But it's now 8:30 a.m. Uh, they're doing some construction, some road work right outside, so it might be a little bit loud, but officially good morning from the 1,000-year-old Burrow Market in London. It's one of the most famous food markets, one of the greatest historical food markets in the entire world. And actually, I was here last time 12 years ago. You can go check out that video. But it's been a long time. So, I'm extremely excited to be back. And to make things more fun and interesting, I've come up with a list.

So, it's going to be a little bit of a food tour challenge. We have a long list of food, some of the best food that we're going to try at Burough Market today. And with everything, place and dish that we try, we'll put it onto the list. And then I'll also include the price so you know exactly how much everything costs. And then at the end of this video, I'm going to share my thoughts and tell you my top picks, my favorite food that you have to try at Burough Market. Well, you got to start with some caffeine. Oh, that's fantastic coffee. This place is really popular in the morning. Uh, well, probably throughout the day, but fantastic. They roast their own beans here. Continual stream of people and the coffee is fantastic.

Monm mouth coffee. Highly recommended. Let's move on. The ginger pig. Oh, and I ate this last time I was at Burough Market. But if there's one thing that is revered by locals and that's loved by tourists and everyone in between, it's got to be the ginger pig. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about them. They are like true heroes of Burough Market. And I got the original sausage roll. So, one sausage roll costs £7, which is quite pricey. But wait till you see the size of this. And wait till you see how much sausage is stuffed on the inside. Wait for it. Ready for it? The insides of it. Oh, look at that.

It's perfectly caramelized and just absolutely stuffed full of sausage. And by the way, it's currently 8:45 a.m., but we got here early to be able to get as much food as we can in before they get to lunchtime at Burough Market and things get hectic and packed. That just feels so good carrying it. Here we go. Oh. Oh, wow. You have to fully extend your jaw to get a bite of this sausage roll. And when you bite down, you get that egg wash, that crispy pastry, that flaky pastry. Then you sink your teeth into that warm, juicy, fatty sausage with perfect spice and seasoning. And the outside of that meat has that crust from the baking process. It's such a masterpiece of a sausage roll because the pastry remains flaky and crispy on the top and the

edges. Yet on the inside where the pastry meets the meat, it has that perfect gooey juiciness that's absorbed the sausage fat and just it's ultra flavor. That is fantastic. This is something you absolutely have to eat when you're at Burough Market. Oh, that's hot. still absolutely steaming. It is 7 lbs, but it's so worth it because it is absolutely stuffed full of sausage. And then as you get to that where the pastry kind of connects, you have a bit more pastry side. It is unbelievable. This might be one of the greatest sausage rolls to ever exist. Highly recommend it. You can't miss it when you're at Bar Market.

It's exactly 9:00 a.m. right now. The market is just waking up. People are setting up. Uh the market is still very quiet. Wait till we see it later for lunchtime. It's going to This entire market will be packed. Uh that's why we got here so early. But that being said, actually quite a few stalls open at 9:00 a.m. and then quite a few stalls open at 10:00 a.m. So if you can get here early before the rush, it's always a good idea. Next up, we're going to try an ingredient that London was built upon. It forms the foundation of food in London. Hello. Good morning.

Welcome. Thank you. So, can you tell us a little bit about this place? So, this is Richard Howard's oysters. Here's the aonomous Richard Howard. Rest in peace. Gone to the great oyster farm in the sky. His son Tom is running the farm now, which is in Mury Island, which is here. It's about 10 miles from Colchester on the east coast. and they've been farming oysters there since 1769. Wow. And bringing them to London almost as long. So, how many generations is that? Tom is the eighth generation now. The native oysters, those will be the same oysters that Tom's great granddad will have sold and brought and sold into London. And then

we have rock oysters also grown in Murzy. They're all wild. All the oysters in Murzy. Murzy is an estine island. The oysters grow in the channels. They get sweet brackish water from three rivers. The Blackwater River is one. And then they get twice a day they get salty water from the North Sea coming in on the tide. And in these estine channels, the oysters just get all the phytolanton, everything they need to grow big and plump and delicious. The oysters, cuz they're wild, they get to grow and grow. And so we haven't got the hugest ones here today, but we got some pretty big ones for you to try.

You've been eight generations of oysters. Has your family been selling oysters in London or what? Where did you guys distribute your oysters? Yeah, mainly in London. So, I have a pocketbook at home from 1791. The original pocket book that my fourth greatgrandfather, William Howard, used to record his sales. Wow. All of those sailed most of those sales were going into London into central London. So into Billingscape and then the streets were littered with shucking stalls because it was the food for the poor. The poor people would just

be buying tons and tons of oysters and about a million oysters a week were coming into London. Wow. Yeah. I mean to be context we sell a million oysters a year at the moment as a small farm. Wow. But Murzy Island, where my oysters come from, my family and other families doing it, there's about 150 boats catching oysters at that time. So there was about a million oysters a week that were being shipped here into the city. Wow. This is absolute oyster paradise for eight generations. Incredible. I think we should just start with one of the natives for this one. I'll go no sauce, no Tabasco, just straight to get the full force.

Oh wow. Oh, that is so much flavor. That texture, that brininess, that complexity. That is phenomenal. Okay, next up for the rock oyster. And we have two different rock oysters or three. This is the first one. And this one is with some of the shallot vinegar. They just slide down. So good. That one has a bit stronger of like a saltiness to it. Great texture. melt in your mouth I love it with that vinegar, with those shallots, that crunch of the shallot. Fantastic. And I think these are the Jersey rock oysters. For this one, I'm going to do the combination of lemon. And let's do Tabasco on this one. That's a great combination as well.

Oh wow. The great thing about oysters is every oyster has a little bit of a different texture, a little bit of a different flavor. You taste the cleanliness, the purity of the sea. It's just such a pure flavor. That being said, I do love it with that tobasco, that acidity of the lemon juice. It's fantastic. And oysters like this are really part of the foundation of food in London. They've been a street food for centuries. You can imagine on the old streets of London, they were selling oysters off of barrels, standing around eating oysters. There were so many oysters that it was considered a poor man's food. Now things have changed a little bit, but you can still get the same flavor, the same standing on the street at Burough Market eating

absolutely some of the freshest, most incredible oysters. And then we have one more size of oyster. This is the superiz oyster. Well, actually he said they sometimes have bigger than this. This is pretty big size. That's definitely a couple of a biter oyster. Um, let's add some of the shallot vinegar on this. These big oysters can take a bit of dressing cuz they're p they're strong. Has a lot of flavor. Okay, I'll do some dig down deep. Let's load it up. Mint, coriander, and a few chili flakes with white wine. A bit like chimmy chur, I guess.

Want to get some of that chunk. Nice. Okay, good. We're good. Thank you. It's getting juicy. Okay, here we go. Oh, wow. You want to chew that? Well, though, that is a onebiter of happiness oyster. And he said he did mention that the bigger oysters are often more intense cuz they're older. So they become a little more seafoody, a little more salinity to them. And that is a nice strong oyster. But it's so good with that vinegar, with that parsley and shallots. So good. Richard Howard oysters. Absolutely fantastic. So fresh. It's been a family tradition. It's been a London tradition for hundreds of years.

Oh, that was phenomenal. Nothing like oysters in the morning. But can you imagine eight generations of oysters? Oh, next up we are at Capacin. Um, and you smell the cheese in the air and making the cheese sandwiches. The legendary cheese sandwich right now. And then what type of bread are you using? Oh, it's Palan Sao. So, it's a bread from Paris originally, but they've got a bakery in London. Okay, cool. It works well with this sandwich. It's quite a dry sourdough and it's baked in a woodfired oven and it's got a very dark crust. See that crust?

Yeah. I mean they I think they do this for the English market. This is for the French Oh, okay. We like the French market. The crust. Yes. For sure. Okay. Here it is. Oh, that's so hot. Right off of the griddle. This grilled cheese sandwich has reached a mythical status level. It is like one of the gold ticket items that you have to try. And they're using capacin British cheese. He adds in a mountain of grated cheese, mostly Montgomery cheddar. It grills in the toaster. The cheese just oozes out so it melts in the center. What's the best thing about it is, let me just unravel all that paper

so that you can see the magical beauty of this grilled cheese sandwich. The bread is so thin, but then you have the uzi cheese in the center. And then you have the crispy cheese on the edges that's spewed out and kind of crustated onto the plastered onto the sides of the bread. And then you also have the onions and the leaks on the inside. Oh, it's steaming with the melted cheese. Here we go. This is one of the world's great grilled cheese sandwiches, that Montgomery cheddar. It starts with the cheese that has such an incredible flavor, complexity, just enough saltiness, but taken to the next level because of the toasting technique. And because the

cheese is shredded rather than sliced, so it allows it to seep out and coat onto the sides of the bread and crustate, is that a word? Can I use that word? crust state onto the slices of bread creating this crispy uzy cheese with just enough onions to offset to change the flavor. Wow, that's good. It's a next level grilled cheese. We got to move on to the next spot. We're on a roll already this morning, but next up, we're trying one of London's most talked about foods at the market. We are going to eat one of the most famous sandwiches. And you can already see even though it's now, what time are we at now? 10:30 a.m. already there's a crowd standing around waiting for their sandwiches. Nice to meet you.

Lovely to meet you. Yeah. Can you just tell us a little bit about the Black Pig? Yes. Basically, we're a sandwich shop based in Bur Market with a strong focus on sourcing our ingredients. So, we only use freerange pork from a farm up in Suffukk. We use as much produce from around the market as possible. So, that's really important to us. Um, and yeah, we basically just created a sandwich that we think is quite unique, pulling in a lot of different flavors, which we don't think you can really get anywhere else. So, it all begins here at the toasting station. The bread is ready and that goes down the line.

All going in for the pork cracklings go on. Okay, the sllo goes on now for the pulled smoked pork. And then that continues down the line. Okay. Oh, is this is the salsa verde? Salsa verde. Yeah. Goes on. Wow. Pepperi as well. And we cut it up. Wow. Oh, the cross-section. Okay. Into the plate. Grated Parmesan goes on top. Wow. Amazing. Thank you very much. Wow. That is hefty. That final grate of 30mon aged parmesan makes it so aromatic and just makes your mouth water. But the entire process, they have a system down. That slowcooked whole pork shoulder that's smoked in

those eggs. As soon as they're open, it's like a continual non-stop assembly line of this perfect sandwich, which is actually called the best one. And the owner was mentioning that because they originally had the honey truffle parm, but then everyone started asking, "What's the best one?" And this is it right here. It is beautiful. Oh wow. My first bite, I got a huge piece of pork crackling. That crispiness inside of that fluffy bread with the aroma of that parmesan, the complexity of that parmesan. I got a little bit of that pulled pork in there as well. You taste the truffle infused mayo. The richness of that mayo and the richness of the pork is offset by that basily h salsa verde. Basily or herbaceious. Oh, it's so good.

They really have like created the ideal sandwich. It's so gourmet. Like all the components are such good quality, sourced locally, all put together. It's like a perfect balance of all the ingredients. This is a world class. It's a phenomenal sandwich. Mhm. And as you start getting further down into the depths of your sandwich, you really start to taste the complexity and the smokiness of that pulled pork, the juiciness of it. It really is like an entire roast barbecue dinner meal allin one sandwich. This is the ideal sandwich. Oh yeah. Okay, here's a fresh batch of the paella. Look at the size of that pan. It's huge. So, we're back now at Bomba Paella. All the paella is ready. That's a huge pan. He just brought out a fresh

pan. That rice has simmered down. All the juices have come out of the seafood from regular prawns to the jumbo king prawns to lobster. Oh, there I think there's two types of lobster. The like the New England style lobster and the king crab on top, peas on top, muscles, scallops. Oh, it's a such a beautiful just a rainbow of colors. And it's massive. Nice. Now it's beautiful. It is all the colors. Tiger shrimp. All those Everything. Yeah. Everything. All the seafood you can imagine all on top of your paella. So, a huge thank you to Bomba Paella. And yeah, come back here. The finished

paella. It is loaded with seafood. The seafood is huge. Everything from lobster tail, the jumbo tiger prawns, regular prawns, muscles. There's so much seafood. It's such a mountain of seafood. You can't even see the rice underneath it. But I can assure you there's rice under there. Let's get some of the rice first just to warm up our taste buds. Oh, that is an intense meaty like caramelized flavor to it with the rice that's cooked al dente. So, it has a little bit of a crunch to it. Perfect. Gets absorbed all that broth, that meat broth, the chicken. So, I think they actually sauté down the chicken so it releases the chicken juice and it kind of like creates that caramelized chicken juice and then it's scraped up

and then it's um that absorbs into the rice creating all that flavor. Okay, let's do a squeeze of lemon. Okay, look at the size of this scallop. Oh, it's massive. Look at that. That wobble. Oh wow. Sweetness, wobbliness absorbed with that paella flavor. Okay, let's do one of the jumbo tiger prawns. Look at the size of this. It's all curled up. But if you were to flatten it, it would definitely be the length of your face. Let's do one of the jumbo prawns. Let's remove the head. Peel the body. Things are getting juicy.

Okay, you got to bite the head. The garlicky, the butteriness. Bite all the juice out of the head. Then you go in for the body. Oh, that's firm. That is meaty, sweet, gigantic tiger prawns. Oh, man. Thank you so much. You're welcome, man. Thank you so much. Okay. Really is a mountain of seafood. Yeah, that's so much flavor condensed into that rice. Absorbed into that rice. Okay, let's try the lobster tail. Look at the lobster tail.

Oh, it's just dripping with like garlicky butter. Oh, the lobster, the juiciness, the butteriness. You can smell the garlic, the seafood, the wobbly seafood. Yes. licky butter. Like juicy with garlicky butter. Oh yeah, this place it's right in the heart of Burough Market. You can't miss it. If you love seafood, this is a must eat when you're at Burough Market. Why do you think that? Well, that place, I got to be honest with you. I think the plate with the lobster and paella cost £27, but those guys just totally hooked me up and they gave me like every single seafood they have on one plate. That might have been

more expensive, but yeah, great, nice guys right in the center of the market. Next up, we're trying a place that's known for having the longest lines at Burough Market, and a lot of people say it's overpriced. What do you think? How many? One. One. Thank you. How many guys? All right, guys. Moving down. Moving So, next up, we're eating one of the most popular foods at the market. Thank you. Oh, it is fast. Look at all the strawberries lined up here. Okay.

I think you'll pretty much see it in everybody's video that comes to Burough Market. We had to try it. Let's get a nice juicy. They are really juicy. Really, really ripe strawberries. Oh, and the chocolate just kind of clings to every strawberry. Half melted, half like hardening on the strawberry.

That is pretty amazing. I mean, it's just a pure juicy, extremely ripe, extremely sweet strawberry. Hint of acidity to contrast that nutty, sweet, creamy Belgian chocolate all together in one bite. Definitely worth it. Yeah, it's great. Let's go for another one. It's a simple combination, but it actually quite works quite well. Chocolate doesn't overpower the strawberry. Still get that nice strawberry flavor. Just that nutty sweet chocolate. Yeah, it is very popular for a reason. It's also very, very visual. And next up on our tour of Burough Market, there's a big surprise for you.

I was hosting these dinners and it was my dad's food that I had at home that I that wasn't out there and I wanted to do something about that. I wanted to put Iraqi cuisine in front of people. Cool. So I built the brand for five six years doing all these pop-ups and then 2019 is when Burough Market happened and

um yeah we've been here for like six seven years and it's been a journey and it's just an incredible feeling to introduce like tourists from across the world introducing them to Iraqi food. Wow. food smells, looks outstanding, and I love we're right within the heart of Burough Market. And they're cooking over charcoal.
