A moment for the Borough Market cheese man

Posted by Emma on August 26, 2008 at 04:46 PM

One of the best things about London is eating a grilled cheese sandwich from the Cheese Man in Borough Market. These sandwiches taste especially good when eaten in the gardens of Southwark Cathedral and accompanied by cider (also available at the market).

I don't know how the Cheese Man makes those incredible sandwiches, but he told me once that he invented his very own type of cheese, Ogleshield, to do it - perhaps he was pulling my leg.

He also makes amazing raclette - melted cheese scraped over a plate of potatoes, onions and gherkins.

Even from 6,000 miles away I crave those delicious sandwiches and will be making a beeline for his stall this Saturday.
