Got up today and headed to Camden Market.This place is massive.Its just blocks and blocks of just about anything you can think of thrifty gear,various street food,high end clothing such as All Saints(i recommend you goto that store,the best denim store i've ever seen!),and all the crafts and bizarre things made out of just anything.So Fritch and i shopped,checked out some gear,bought a few things and had some great food.Also whats cool about this place is the Camden locks.Where you can go for a boat tour thru the channel for a small fee,don't forget to bring your camera.Now as for food,there was Ethiopian which is what i had.A vegetarian wrap with soya wet,gomen wet and shuro wet wrapped in the traditional (Injera).A side of sauteed cabbage and carrots with a hint of curry for color was perfect sized dish for $4.50.After downing we went for a stroll and found a South African Bbq spot,you know i had to try this!Anyone here ever had ostrich,better yet,has anyone seen the size of an ostrich egg!?I ask the owner what should i have?He told me the ostrich burger,which came red onions,tomatoes,a sweet and sour sauce and zesty hot sauce on a bun just how he has it back home in his hometown, Bethlehem.A dark meat which looked like ground beef was grilled with a nice charring on each side was prepared paid $4.50 and gave it a bite!Dam it was tender,the sweet and spice sauces worked great,about a 1/4 pound patty had no game taste to it,and when i finished i didn't feel full like you usually do when eating beef.Definitely would like to come back to this spot to try the Boreworitch Sausage,which i will explain on the next visit.After those bites,we checked out some more stalls,like african artifacts from Fritch's country Cameroon while getting a history as well.All in all a great day and plenty to see.So for sure when you come London,come check out Camden Market,mostly a Friday,Saturday,Sunday,but there are quite a few shops open during the week.So come with and empty stomach,a bit of patience because of the crowds and a few friends to have a great time!
