London KERB food markets

Obviously a brioche bun. Served in a flat cap?

Otherwise looks incredible.

No, served in a recyclable tray. We're not in Shoreditch here laddie.

Today's fest:

Stall: Division 194

Buttermilk fried shrimp, served in a warm, crusty baguette and dressed with lettuce, aioli, mustard-pickled cucumber & house hot sauce.

Very good. Tasty king prawns, lovely mix of flavours, nice fresh bread. Expensive at £7 for a sandwich but it was restaurant rather than café standard.

I've had most of those last summer at various points; Mother Clucker probably do the best fried chicken so just hunt them down at the appropriate Kerb market (they're at WIQ today).

If I was in London today, it would be Patate or Mother Flipper getting the nod. The Dirty Barbie at Mother Flipper is a tenner and far better value than Bleecker Street's Bleecker Black for the same price. For the less-famished, I'd recommend the Candy Bacon Flipper. Droolworthy.

Patate's offering is still a burger but somewhat different; a beef bourguignon burger. Sounds odd but it works so, so well.

If you're a fish traditionalist, Saltwood Fish Bar do the best cod and chips around but their mushy peas aren't to everybody's liking.

WTF is wrong with these people? Does everything HAVE to sound like it's from the menu in a brothel?

Southerners. pfffft.

I wouldn't know. How do you know brothels have menus?

Hipster effect unfortunately.

Unfortunately the food is excellent, so you have to ignore such matters.

Those mushy peas are fresh, not everyone likes them that way .
The fish and chips is amongst some of the best I have had anywhere.

In fact the fish is from Billingsgate, literally a quarter of a mile up the road.

It was the picture of the Brothel menu that someone posted last week that gave me the idea.

Freshly made? Or just not old? I'm not sure how it's possible to do mushy peas wrong (barring the obvious 'not cooked enough' scenario). Incidentally, i'm a fan of the frozen variety which seem to have the edge on tinned ones, but don't need 24 hours soaking

Made from fresh peas, rather than by the traditional method, I don't mind either personally.

The former not really mushy peas in the proper sense, IMO.

Unacceptable, in my view. That'd spoil my day if I got a load of crushed garden peas over my fish and chips.
