Southbanks Street Food

When living in London you can never get bored, there is always something going on somewhere. Whether it's a festival, market or show there is never a dull moment in London. And this weekend was no different.

Southbank is one of the many places, itoffers something everyday of the week,  Sunday happened to be a Love Festival and a street food market. Despite the original weather report, Sunday ended up being very hot and very sunny. 

White Sangria 
After spending a good twenty minutes walking around trying to make a decision on which stall I should approach, considering there was a fair amount of choice, from Indian, Lebanese, Korean, French and British. 

Firstly I had to quench my thirst, with a nice glass of white Sangria a nice change from the usual red, which as I'm not much of a red wine drinker never really appealed to me.

I decided on a Moroccan spiced lamb and chickpea tagine whole-grain flat bread, filled to the brim it was possible one of the best food choices I have ever made, the spiced lamb was seasoned perfectly and matched the chickpea tagine. With a slathering of mint yogurt and a hand full of tomato and chili salad it was a combo made from heaven. 
Spiced Lamb

There was a slight downside to this master piece. The flat bread was too small and so when i got half way through the wrap it exploded.... This is one of the faults to street food, in practise it should very urban and cool but in reality it just ends up in a big explosion of Moroccan spiced lamb mess.

I did find a perfect spot to eat my flat bread, over looking the entire market and watching everyone else having a similar street food explosion going on. 

Southbank 
All in all though, Southbank is the perfect place for lunch or if you're simply stuck for things to do on a sunny weekend.
