A Taste For Adventure - Jen Moseley

The best adventures end in treasure, and today mine came in the form of roti followed by Brazilian churros.

Found in the charming neighborhood of Camden Town, the cradle of alternative rock in the UK, Camden Lock Market, is the perfect place to appreciate London’s multiculturalism at its best. Whether you are looking for handcrafted furniture, artisanal leather or some of the best street food you can find, Camden Market has you covered. 



We bypassed the clothing stalls as we were on a mission to satisfy our grumbling stomachs, and Camden Lock did not disappoint. Following our noses, we rounded the corner to what could only be described as chaos; utter, beautiful, delicious chaos.  There were scattered stalls of street vendors exhibiting their home countries delicacies, and we were anxious to try them all.

After wandering all the stalls, it was time to make the hardest decision to date: what to eat. We settled on Roti, a traditional Pakistani street food, from “Food in the Middle – Roti House” where I devoured (or should I say inhaled?) a vegetable roti wrapped in garlic naan, complete with added onions, lettuce, garlic yogurt sauce, spicy chili sauce and of course my main staple in life: cheese.



As if this wasn’t enough to fill our stomachs to the brim, it was time for dessert. We had passed a Brazilian churro stall when we first entered and I knew that was where I was destined to eat next. I opted for a cinnamon sugar churro filled half and half with traditional dulce de leche and brigadeiro chocolate sauce. I couldn’t pass down an opportunity to indulge some more, so I washed this all down with a Brazilian soda called “Guarana”, and finally hit cloud nine.


Tune in next time for some more adventures, if I ever get out of this food coma..
