I'm willing to put money on the fact that Nadia is sweeter than the donuts. 🙃 Wonder does that stall still trade there? Never seen doughnuts presented like that with the fillings/styled toppings. 👍🏻 All round for working in the wet & cold 😵
The pie and mash at the start really sums up British food and why it’s good. People say it’s dull and bland, but you’re stood there, it’s cold and wet, and you have a steaming forkful of hot beef pie and potato, with gravy.
The Beigal shop is owned by my family and I'm glad you liked the salt beef beigal. Also the Portuguese tarts are good if you fancy something sweet. Love your content, keep up the good work bro.
You say it's touristy but as someone who's lived in London for 12 years now, Londoners definitely also go to Borough, it's so so good. Also it was probably a good thing that you went on a grim grey day, sometimes it's so busy it's just no fun. If you come back Spitalfields also has a brilliant food market, and you can walk to Brick Lane from there (which I've seen other people have already recommended).
Dude!!!!!!! You went to the wrong beigel shop!!!!!@ 😭😭😭 beigel bake next door is the one!!! It's been there since 40s or 50s possibly earlier and up until very recently the bloke and his son who opened it worked there!!! A straight up staple of London!!
Get you a man that talks like Mikey Chen talks about food and looks at you like he looks at food 😂 “I adore this!” The level of enthusiasm and the pure joy on his face this is why I love this channel
Omg my sister and brother made that pie as they are working inside the Pie minister factory 🏭. My favourite is the moo pie 🥧 it’s soooooo good and yummy 😋. We always eat pie every weekend because they brought home some pie. Pie minister also has an amazing sausage rolls. Welcome to Uk 🇬🇧
Whenever I go to London I ask myself, why do us Americans have a bigger obesity problem 🤣? The last time I was in London for two weeks I gained 7lbs lol.
Welcome to the British weather, and the food that helps us through it! I've eaten so many meat pastries and pies this winter that this almost feels like déjà-vu! Also, if you can, I suggest going to a creamery! They perhaps don't have much food, but cafés and free samples should tide you through, it's really awesome!
I recently found this channel and after watching more releases I realized how much he must exercise to stay that hungry. I've been doing a lot of endurance training simply to eat more food. This also required I cut down on liquor. Mikey Chen is a shaman
Great video, as someone who is from England (the north, because it's the best part) you become de-sensitised to the food which you eat a lot and grew up, so it is great to see someone else's view as a tourist and makes you realise just how great our food really is. Well done :D
Leaving london tomorrow, been here 8 days and are full! The food here is amazing, way better than I expected. Always heard bad stuff about the cusine here but it's not true. Everything about that market is true!
Doh!!! i stayed so close when i was there last year and didn't realize it was there. i walked the other direction, west, and there were so many markets out that way too!!! london is such a foodie heaven.
Your comments about the pie at the beginning is everything people don’t get about British cuisine. Eat it on a cold, wet day, and you will understand, respect and desire it!
Hey Mikey, I just wanted to let you know that you have risen through the ranks and have become my all time favorite food show period. You do a great job and are very entertaining. Keep up the great work brother and God bless you.
I watch Mikey's videos and I wish I could go to Japan and Taiwan... then a video like this comes up and makes me so happy that this is my home. Watching the guy at the lamb confit stand calling for buyers just made me feel at home, strange I know.
When it is safe to do so, you should do a whole UK Tour, you can get trains from different london stations to basically anywhere in the UK, Including a Link from London Euston to Glasgow in Scotland, or Euston to Holyhead in Wales, or London Paddington to St Ives in Cornwall. On the trains you get to most places in the UK 😍
What I love about London is how it wears it's multiculturalism so proudly. You can eat cuisine from practically ANY country in the world in London. And it's all GOOD too! Say what you like about stodgy traditional British dishes (glad to see you tried salt-beef, aaah it' so good!), the sheer variety and excellence on offer in London is what makes it so special. Try a Bakewell Tart if you see one. They're my favourite ^_^
Only ignorant people say british food is bad. I travel europe canada and the states and have had awful food everywhere at some point but im not ignorant enough to know they dont have great foods too and the uk is just the same!
@@yasmin935 too bad you don't know the difference between "assimilation" and "being assimilated". Britain is an assimilator, taking influence from all over the world and yet, somehow, also making it uniquely british. The most obvious example, of course, being tea. A product that the entire world now tends to associate more with the British culture than any of the countries it is actually grown in. Your ignorance is frankly astonishing, given that one of the things that make the English language pretty much the de facto lingua franca of the world is that is so easily and seamlessly assimilates words from other languages wherever the concept is unique - as just demonstrated with "de facto" and "lingua franca". Meanwhile France has argued over whether "weekend" should be struck from their language... Travel more and read more widely, and next time you might be able to say something intelligent, and based on reality, rather than provincial racism.
It seems that London would be a great foodie paradise because of the fusion of all different cultures bringing their best dishes to the party. Have never been but now I just have to! I have to visit that market and eat that pork 🤤
Welcome!! Scotch eggs are meant to be served cold. They're like a picnic/packed lunch food. Good ones are amazing. Come up to Scotland and we'll show you!
I grew up in London but never went to the market in my life. Since going for the first time 3 years ago, I go every opportunity I’m back in town. Definitely recommended.
I’m so glad you’re in London!!! I hope you enjoy it. You went to borough market, I’m not surprised if you go to Chinatown, also please don’t take London for granted because there are so many different cultures here you can experience, from Latin American, African, Caribbean and Asian: yes visit shoreditch, brick lane, etc. But you and I both know if you want to try ethnic food, for example Jewish food : North London, Golders Green , Caribbean food: Brixton, Portuguese: Stockwell, Vauxhall. Italian: North London. Soho has great places and Camden Town too!!! London is a multicultural city. Enjoy it.
If you are ever back in the uk go to a pub with homemade food that does a lamb suet pudding. There’s one near me that does them (but I’m in the north) and it’s the most underrated thing ever. Big chunks of lamb with gravy in a suet pudding. In winter it’s perfect food. In the uk we maybe aren’t known for our food but we do cook hearty winter food. Get a good meat broth! Also try our deserts! We do cake and pudding well here
Oh my gosh you're in London!!! I've been following your channel for a few years. Big fan. Have a wonderful time and I hope you don't get rained on. There is some really nice pubs with food in an area called Highbury & Islington which is one stop away from King's Cross on the tube. Look up gastropubs for cosy British winter food. Enjoy the Big Smoke and thanks for all the amazing videos!
That's because it isn't vegan, they lie & put lard & butter in the pastry. Vegans are morons by default so they don't know any better, they just think its the veg that makes it good.
@Rosie Potter I believe you. Dairy, gluten, nuts, all those things are usually taken care of well. Cool to know they have that though! But as for ingredients of foods in general, many companies are insanely deceptive. No wonder we're all unhealthy.
And they say the portion sizes in america are big. Its one thing to have good food, its another to have a lot of a good food. Hats off to you london, makes me want to visit!
Yes, I'm slowly watching through your entire back catalogue of videos (in no particular order), having recently discovered you. You've inspired me to travel more (once the pandemic isn't such a big thing anymore) and eat all the things! Even so, if you ever happen to end up back in the UK, see if you can find a DoughNotts shop. Their doughnuts are really something else!
London is on my bucket of places to visit! I've never heard of this market! Hopefully one day I'll make it there! As always, thanks for sharing~ Love living vicariously through your adventures :P
Awesome decision to try the vegan pie! I was disappointed when you’d first skipped over it and delighted when you went back to try it!! Great job, Mike!
Don’t make the same mistake I did! Go in the morning, or at least at lunch, never nighttime! I remember I was in London on vacation recently with my family for two days. I went here and had no knowledge at all, other than knowing about the food from mike’s delicious video, so I went the night I arrived. I didn’t know that, the stalls close down and the pubs and bars open up. I was so disappointed, looking forward to fresh pastries like those donuts and amazing sausage rolls, the pie and mash place, and a lot of roasted meat. I think I cried that night 😭.
Yeah with British culture the night is never to eat, but to get drunk as hell. British, not part of that scene I am more of the sad wierldyl obsessed hobbiest scene Britain also have, but that is all that night time is about I am afraid, that or staying inside your home playing bridge.
@@emilymalden3310 no, I was sadly only there for 2 days and I had to go to Warner Bro. Studio tours and other things that day, very busy week. But, I have a few relatives living in London who gave us a tour, and I’m sure we will go back soon!
I mean theres that pie and mash. And then theres THE pie and mash. mince beef and onion pie with liquor thats made from jellied eel jelly and parsley. served with a bowl of jellied eel. Its honestly amazing. Reconmend going to F.Cooke for that :)
I live near that beigle shop but have been staying with my parents for the last couple of months cause of covid and now I am desperatly in need of a salt beef beigel they are so delish!!
Me after Mike New video, London is a nice city with diverse culture and food. I just hope he will find the One for him soon so he will get over his ex, love from London for Mike ❤️🇬🇧
I come here to help with some sadness it always works. Seeing delicious food wants me to go to the actual place to eat it. This channel is truly wonderful
I love it when you go to foreign countries it’s so nice it feels like I’m traveling too so thank u so much for these cool experiences to see the world through a lense
I live about 15 minutes from Borough Market. The food is a huge temptation! Unfortunately it can be quite expensive, so it's a treat for pay days for some of us. To those who say you can't find good food in the UK.....watch this and weep!
I'm glad you tried that veggie pie, I'm not vegetarian although I avoid meats that aren't from ethical sources, but yeah I love vegetable-based meals. I'm also Australian so I love pies.
I had brined a brisket in preparation for some bbq and it got interrupted so I froze it. One thing after another I ended up just baking it. It had basically become almost liked a cured beef and roasted into meltyness. It was shockingly good and I can only imagine it’s similar to that beef!
That confit duck sandwich Is actually incredible I used to get it when in London, 10/10 for finding it and eating it! I dream about that sandwich at night!
Mikey you have to do more London Food Tours I seen some awesome steak burger sandwiches with sausage and grilled cheese go back to London for me. shout out from San Diego love you dude 👌
We were catching the Eurostar from Paris to London and spotted Mike lining up to catch the same train. He wasn’t filming and looked a bit tired but was kind enough to take a photo with my boyfriend and I when we asked. We also went to this market and I wished that we didn’t go on a weekend as it was packed and couldn’t get to this many dishes. Thanks for the photo Mike! We appreciate it
My favorite city in the whole world. I got my master's degree there. I met my husband there. If I could live anywhere, I'd live there. But, I can't afford it. It's so expensive.
Hey Mikey, you missed a few places that you need to hit on the next visit. - BBQ Chorizo roll @ Brindisa - That Ethiopian food stall you were standing in front of in the video - If you want a coffee, go to Monmouth Coffee - Cheese, Neals Yard Diary - The German hotdog stall - The huge sausage rolls @ The Ginger Pig butchers are amazing!
Hello I was the doughnut girl at 7:15 glad you enjoyed it! 🍩
Hi Nadia!👋 It’s always great to see people in Mike’s videos comment on his videos.
Definitely want to go to the market to buy some of those Donuts.
@@nadiafontana6394 Had these donuts a few months ago and they were fantastic

Pie and mash is a good start, but when the weather really closes in and things are looking grim you need pie and peas.
@@walterblock8272 Peas!!!

I live about 15 minutes from Borough Market. The food is a huge temptation! Unfortunately it can be quite expensive, so it's a treat for pay days for some of us. To those who say you can't find good food in the UK.....watch this and weep!
people mock british food for being just pie n' mash every day without much spices and stuff
but
we know how to make that kinda food bloody well
They mock bc they really don’t have much else to pick on do they? They’re losers
Billy don't disagree with the delicious and good part, but definitely not healthy
I love British food. People can mock it all they want, more for me.
Yep after you added spices from the colonies 😂😂
@@CloroxBleach-vy1dj He said hearty (as in filling and comforting) not healthy. I don't think anyone would call our food healthy haha
Raclette typical wintery street food of Europe that I love
I'm glad you tried that veggie pie, I'm not vegetarian although I avoid meats that aren't from ethical sources, but yeah I love vegetable-based meals. I'm also Australian so I love pies.
I had brined a brisket in preparation for some bbq and it got interrupted so I froze it. One thing after another I ended up just baking it. It had basically become almost liked a cured beef and roasted into meltyness. It was shockingly good and I can only imagine it’s similar to that beef!
Those potatoes with melted cheese and pickles look so damn good! Perfect comfort food!
You can also try it in Switzerland, where that dish originated. It's called, "Raclette".
Mike chen, so cute. Running away from the rain as you're munching away and protecting the wrap lol
I tried the duck sandwich as well at borough market and it was dry. Thanks for affirming that.
Were there bones in yours too? I would hate to be picking out bones while eating a sandwich
I've lived in multiple countries, and multiple cities... anything from 'Bread Ahead' is the absolute bomb, best in the world ever.
When you're talking about the donut you reminded me of my strong African ascent uncles for some reason.
The way he so accurately describes all the food he eats just blows my mind.. Awesome!!
Thanks again for a epic food video! The donuts looked amazing!
I've just had breakfast, but Mike, watching your videos always makes me hungry again.
Welcome to the UK!!!!!
If you love rain you should come to Manchester it’s an amazing city that is under rated
"..that's the thing with food, it makes you feel better..happier.." yes..i agree mike...
When in England don't play accordion music. Leave that in France
Don't eat their food either, also leave that to France. At least when you're in Europe.
I know. What a divvy.
Even being an American, it kind of stood out to me too. Oh well. Most of us are living in the modern era anyway.
Hope u know 80% of english white people have french ancestry
Plus a lot of french people live or study in the uk
Pie & mash, we call comfort food. Also, a winter warmer. You should try Brick Lane on a Sunday...
Use this as a Strictly Dumpling makes you hungry button
Pls go back to Instagram, thanks.
Six Petrified Trees I don’t even understand the comment

"This pork is as moist as this country's weather" hahaha
We were catching the Eurostar from Paris to London and spotted Mike lining up to catch the same train. He wasn’t filming and looked a bit tired but was kind enough to take a photo with my boyfriend and I when we asked. We also went to this market and I wished that we didn’t go on a weekend as it was packed and couldn’t get to this many dishes. Thanks for the photo Mike! We appreciate it
My favorite city in the whole world. I got my master's degree there. I met my husband there. If I could live anywhere, I'd live there. But, I can't afford it. It's so expensive.
Hey Mikey, you missed a few places that you need to hit on the next visit.
- BBQ Chorizo roll @ Brindisa
- That Ethiopian food stall you were standing in front of in the video
- If you want a coffee, go to Monmouth Coffee
- Cheese, Neals Yard Diary
- The German hotdog stall
- The huge sausage rolls @ The Ginger Pig butchers are amazing!
